The primary goal of the Strategic Technologies for Cyberinfrastructure (STCI) Program is to support activities that lead to innovative cyberinfrastructure but are not currently funded by other programs or solicitations.  Eligible projects include development, deployment, research, and education necessary to create cyberinfrastructure, or creation of cyberinfrastructure that will enable innovative science and education.  Proposals submitted to STCI should demonstrate a significant potential to transform multiple areas of science and/or education that depend on the development and deployment of cyberinfrastructure.  Review criteria for this program, in addition to intellectual merit and broader impacts, include: a clearly identified and described cyberinfrastructure need that is not addressed elsewhere; a potential for significant impact on science or engineering research, research training, or education across multiple disciplines; a potential for generating outcomes that will be of interest to a broad range of science and engineering communities; a list of tangible metrics to be used to measure the success of the project; a convincing explanation of why the project is not suitable for other NSF programs or solicitations; a demonstration of strong support from within the science and engineering community.
