NSF ASCEND Engine Launches Third Request for Proposals (RFP) to Advance Environmental Sensing and AI Technologies in Colorado and Wyoming

Title: NSF ASCEND Engine Launches Third Request for Proposals (RFP) to Advance Environmental Sensing and AI Technologies in Colorado and Wyoming Description: Over the past two decades, Colorado and Wyoming have faced intensifying wildfires, droughts, soil degradation, and air quality challenges — making the region both a critical proving ground and a natural laboratory for next-generation environmental technologies. “Colorado and Wyoming are producing some of the most consequential environmental monitoring capabilities in the country right now. We're excited to see what applicants bring to this RFP cycle and we hope to fund integrative projects that can deploy cutting-edge sensing and AI research within the communities and industries that want to adopt new technologies to increase their resilience to natural hazards.” — Sam Malloy R&D Director, NSF ASCEND Engine Source: https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/04/30/3285390/0/en/nsf-ascend-engine-launches-third-request-for-proposals-rfp-to-advance-environmental-sensing-and-ai-technologies-in-colorado-and-wyoming.html Organization: Globenewswire
