The ASCENT program will support high-quality and ambitious fundamental research projects that involve the research areas of two or three ECCS clusters and are unsuitable for smaller teams or shorter durations. The ASCENT program is intended to produce results leading to disruptive technologies that lay the foundation for novel scientific and technological concepts to enable significant improvements in the environment, health, quality of life, and national prosperity. Integral to every ASCENT project must be an element to communicate the leadership role of engineering in addressing critical societal needs. A compelling and innovative research problem, critically involving two or three ECCS cluster research areas must lie at the heart of an ASCENT proposal, although integration of disciplinary expertise outside ECCS core disciplines is encouraged. ECCS core topics may be determined from current ECCS cluster descriptions described below, or by consulting with an ECCS Program Officer. The ASCENT program is not intended to support technology translation, although project outcomes may ultimately lead to commercialization.
