Opportunity Information: Apply for 22 518
The Computer and Information Science and Engineering Minority-Serving Institutions Research Expansion Program (CISE-MSI), NSF funding opportunity number 22-518, is a discretionary grant program run by the National Science Foundation through its Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE). The program is designed specifically to expand research activity and long-term research strength at Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) in areas aligned with computer and information science and engineering. In practical terms, NSF is using this solicitation to help MSIs increase both the volume and competitiveness of CISE research they conduct, with the expectation that participating institutions will be better positioned to win awards through CISE core programs in the future.
A central purpose of the opportunity is broadening participation in the computing and information sciences research enterprise by increasing the number of CISE-funded projects that originate at MSIs. The solicitation emphasizes research expansion and capacity building, meaning it is not only about supporting a single standalone project, but also about strengthening the institutional and faculty capability needed to sustain a successful CISE research portfolio over time. This includes building the track record, partnerships, and research environment that help investigators develop strong proposals and compete effectively within NSF's mainstream CISE funding programs.
The opportunity underscores the broader national importance of MSIs, framing them as key drivers of inclusive excellence and as institutions that cultivate undergraduate and graduate talent in computing fields. The program connects that role to innovation and long-term U.S. competitiveness, reflecting NSF's interest in ensuring that the research community and the future STEM workforce draw from the full diversity of the country. For the purposes of this solicitation, the MSIs explicitly included are Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs).
From the published opportunity details, the funding instrument is a grant and the activity category is science and technology and other research and development under CFDA 47.070. The agency anticipated making about 17 awards. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically indicates that the ceiling is not specified in the summary record and applicants must refer to the full solicitation text for budget guidance and allowable award sizes. Eligibility is summarized as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which signals that applicants need to confirm institutional eligibility requirements in the official solicitation, but the program is clearly targeted to the MSI categories listed above.
Key administrative dates in the source record show the opportunity was created on October 22, 2021, with an original closing date of February 11, 2022. Overall, CISE-MSI is best understood as NSF CISE's targeted investment to increase the presence and success of MSI-led computing research, while also building durable capacity that helps faculty and institutions transition into sustained participation in NSF's core CISE funding pathways.Apply for 22 518
