See the Dear Colleague Letter, NSF 07-051, announcing this opportunity at http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf07051.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) in cooperation with the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) through the industry’s Nanoelectronics Research Initiative (NRI) is again offering supplemental funding opportunities to NSF centers involved in nanoelectronics research to support additional graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to work in collaborative efforts with participating NRI company assignees on exploring new concepts beyond the scaling limits of CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) technology. These joint efforts are intended to enhance nanoelectronics research and education, strengthen industry linkages with NSF centers, and develop future cadres of industry and faculty researchers to help drive the field. The NSF Directorates participating are Engineering (ENG), Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS), and Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE).
The supplement requests shall be for research consistent with the mission of the NSF centers that has the potential to meet the needs of the NRI: (i) discovery of a novel non-charge based logical switch as a successor to CMOS technology; and (ii) novel architectures for efficient computation with post-CMOS devices. All NSF centers and networks involved in nanoelectronics research are eligible to apply, including those that were awarded supplements in previous competitions.
