NSF has recently announced an update to NSF 15-534. Formerly called CC*DNI, the Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CC*) program (NSF 16-567) invests in coordinated campus-level cyberinfrastructure (CI) components of data, networking, and computing infrastructure, capabilities, and integrated services leading to higher levels of performance, reliability and predictability for science applications and distributed research projects. Learning and workforce development (LWD) in CI is explicitly addressed in the program. Science-driven requirements are the primary motivation for any proposed activity.

CC* awards will be supported in seven areas:

1. Data Driven Multi-Campus/Multi-Institution Model Implementations awards will be supported at up to $3,000,000 total for up to 4 years.
2. Cyber Team awards will be supported at up to $1,500,000 total for up to 3 years.
3. Data Driven Networking Infrastructure for the Campus and Researcher awards will be supported at up to $500,000 total for up to 2 years.
4. Network Design and Implementation for Small Institutions awards will be supported at up to $400,000 total for up to 2 years.
5. Network Integration and Applied Innovation awards will be supported at up to $1,000,000 total for up to 2 years.
6. Campus Computing awards will be supported at up to $500,000 for up to 3 years.
7. Innovative Integrated Storage Resources awards will be supported at up to $200,000 for up to 2 years.

Total Anticipated Funding Amount: $16,000,000 – $18,000,000
Estimated Number of Awards: 21 to 33
