About this opportunity

Individuals working in areas as diverse as national security all face the challenge of synthesizing information and deriving insight from and possibly conflicting digital data. The goal of collecting and examining these data sets is not to merely acquire information, but to derive increased understanding from them and to facilitate effective decision-making. To capitalize on the opportunities provided by these data sets, research in Data and Visual Analytics seeks to facilitate analytical reasoning through the use of interactive visual interfaces. To be successful, this research must extend beyond traditional scientific and information visualization to include representation, management and discovery technologies, cognitive and perceptual sciences, decision sciences, and more.With this solicitation, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) invite research proposals whose outcomes will enable data stakeholders to detect the expected and discover the unexpected in massive data sets. Research outcomes will be applicable across broad application areas, establishing a solid scientific foundation for visual analytics systems of the future.Proposals should focus on creating fundamental research advances that will be widely applicable across governmental domains that utilize visualization and analytics to gain insight and derive knowledge from massive, often and possibly conflicting, data sets. Research activities proposed should emphasize novel data transformations, while also demonstrating research relevance to visual analytics systems by including a research component in areas such as, but not limited interaction, and cognitive psychology.
