Title:  Future of Work at the Human-Technology Frontier: Advancing Cognitive and Physical Capabilities (FW-HTF)    NSF 18-548

https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2018/nsf18548/nsf18548.htm?WT.mc_id=USNSF_25&WT...

This solicitation focuses on advancing cognitive and physical capabilities in the context of human-technology interactions. The solicitation will support two themes:

Theme 1 will focus on Foundations for Augmenting Human Cognition and
Theme 2 will focus on Embodied Intelligent Cognitive Assistants.

In shaping projects responsive to these two themes, PIs consider the importance of understanding, anticipating, and shaping the larger implications at the individual, institutional, corporate, and national levels, including issues arising from the needs or consequences for training and education. In addition, projects should be framed in terms of their focus on the potential contribution toward (a) transforming the frontiers of science and technology for human performance augmentation and workplace skill acquisition; (b) improving both worker quality of life and employer financial metrics; (c) enhancing the economic and social well-being of the country; and (d) addressing societal needs through research on learning and instruction in the context of augmentation. Projects must include a Collaboration Plan which outlines the way in which the project will leverage and integrate multiple disciplinary perspectives.
