What is the difference between the new “Information and Intelligent Systems” solicitation and the prior solicitations?
While the same research areas are covered, the new solicitation has an emphasis on basic research results that will have an impact outside the immediate research community.

IIS is also encouraging proposals on policy and technical issues, including security and privacy, that relate to sharing information across boundaries. The changes we initiated with this solicitation are intended to allow the division to operate within a broader funding structure with more interactions among research areas. Grouping many of the programs together will give us more flexibility to fund projects that do not fall ent
