The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Nanoelectronics Research Initiative (NRI) are offering this grant to jointly support innovative research and education activities in Nanoelectronics for 2020 and Beyond (NEB). This grant is for advancing computation, information processing, sensor technologies, and communications infrastructure beyond current physical and conceptual limits, pushing past Moore’s Law. It targets interdisciplinary teams exploring novel concepts in nanoelectronics, addressing fundamental challenges from new materials, chemistry, and devices to circuit designs, system architectures, and entirely new paradigms of computation and sensing. Proposals should also consider heterogeneous integration and effectively incorporate workforce education and broader participation. Projects require collaboration among three or more investigators, covering at least two key themes such as new chemistries, alternative state variables, or novel computing paradigms.

| Description: | The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Directorates for Engineering, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, and Computer & Information Science & Engineering, together with the semiconductor industry’s Nanoelectronics Research Initiative (NRI) plan to jointly support innovative research and education activities on the topic of Nanoelectronics for 2020 and Beyond (NEB). These activities will be supported as interdisciplinary research team awards. The goal of this solicitation is to advance the forefront of computation, information processing, sensor technologies, and communications infrastructure beyond the physical and conceptual limitations of current technologies. Continuing evolution of electronics beyond the scaling limits of Moore’s Law will require broad thinking across multiple disciplines. The program is intended to support proposals by interdisciplinary teams of investigators committed to exploring innovative research concepts in nanoelectronics involving fundamental challenges from novel materials, chemistry, and logic devices, to circuit designs and systems architectures, algorithms, and perhaps entirely new paradigms of computation, sensing, and processing of information. Proposals may also address additional challenges arising from increasing functionality through heterogeneous integration of novel devices and technologies. Proposals should discuss effective ways in which education of the workforce and broadening participation are integrated within the proposed research activities.Proposals must involve interdisciplinary collaborations by three or more investigators and address aspects of at least two of the research themes:1.Exploring New Chemistries and Materials for Nanoelectronics2.Exploring Alternative State Variables and Heterogeneous Integration for Nanoelectronic Devices and Systems3.Exploring Novel Paradigms of Computing |
