OpportunityTitle: NIST Consortium for Semiconductor and Future Computing Research Grant Program
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Accredited institutions of higher education and non-profit organizations located in the United States and its territories. An eligible organization is expected to create a consortium or be part of an existing consortium as described in Section I. Program Description, of this FFO.
Description: NIST is soliciting proposals for financial assistance from eligible applicants to support basic research, in a consortium-based setting, focused on the long-term research needs of industry in the area of future computing and information processing. There is a critical need for scientific and engineering advances in novel computing paradigms with long-term impact on the semiconductor, electronics, computing, and defense industries. The proposed activities should advance the physical and materials aspects of future computing technologies with a focus on alternatives that provide low latency, low energy per operation, improved data/communication bandwidth, and higher clock speed. Activities should include innovative research in devices, circuits, architectures, metrology or characterization to enable future computing paradigms. Applicants should create mechanisms for extended collaboration with NIST researchers.
