Transformative research involves ideas, discoveries, or tools that radically change our understanding of an important existing scientific or engineering concept or educational practice or leads to the creation of a new paradigm or field of science, engineering, or education. Such research challenges current understanding or provides pathways to new frontiers.
Intellectual Merit criterion:To what extent does the proposed activity suggest and explore creative, original, or potentially transformative concepts?

Good Strategy (1): Collaboration
10
• Steve Johnson: Where Good Ideas Come From:• Most innovations are result of collaborative effort hatched in academic
labs or corporate R&D departments rather than in some isolated genius’s garage
• How can you collaborate?• Look up existing projects in NSF Award Search
• Contact the researchers• Contact program directors for suggestions
• Talk to colleagues, also in other departments, universities, industry, countries

http://www.nsf.gov/cise/news/mail_lists.jsp
CISE has implemented a mail distribution list to notify the Computer and Information Science and Engineering community of items we think may be of interest. The postings will be infrequent and brief and will typically point to further information on the CISE or NSF website. This may duplicate some of the items contained in NSF Custom News Service but will also contain items not always available there::• Announcements• Vacancy notices• CISE webcasts of interest• Meeting notices, workshops• News items, etc. To subscribe: send a message to: [email protected] with no text in the subject or message body.If you no longer wish to be included on the distribution list, you can elect to be removed from the list at any time. Instructions for unsubscribing will be included at the end of each list message.
