National-scale societal challenges cannot be solved in a single discipline, instead these challenges require convergence to merge ideas, approaches, and technologies from a wide range of diverse sectors, disciplines, and experts. Launched in 2019, the NSF Convergence Accelerator is building upon basic research and discovery to accelerate solutions toward societal impact. Using convergence research fundamentals and integration of innovation processes like human-centered design, user discovery, and team science; and integration of multidisciplinary research and partnerships the Convergence Accelerator program is investing in research teams comprised of academia, industry, non-profits, government, and others to solve large-scale societal challenges.
