The NSF Convergence Accelerator aims to accelerate use-inspired convergence research in areas of national importance to address societal challenges, and to initiate convergence team-building capacity around exploratory, potentially high-risk proposals addressing selected convergent research topics.

CSIRO has sponsored Australian participation in the NSF Convergence Accelerator for Track I: Sustainable Materials for Global Challenges, whose aim is to converge advances in fundamental materials science with materials design and manufacturing methods in an effort to couple their end-use and full life-cycle considerations for environmentally and economically sustainable materials and products. Phase I awards were announced in December 2022.
