PROGRAM GUIDELINES

Apply to PD 05-1517 as follows:

For full proposals submitted via FastLane: standard Grant Proposal Guidelines apply.
For full proposals submitted via Grants.gov: NSF Grants.gov Application Guide; A Guide for the Preparation and Submission of NSF Applications via Grants.gov Guidelines apply (Note: The NSF Grants.gov Application Guide is available on the Grants.gov website and on the NSF website at:http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/docs/grantsgovguide.pdf)

DUE DATES

Full Proposal Window:  September 7, 2008 - October 7, 2008
Full Proposal Window:  January 7, 2009 - February 7, 2009
Supplement Deadline Date:  April 1, 2009
  REU/RET Supplements
Full Proposal Window:  September 7, 2009 - October 7, 2009

The submission windows for unsolicited proposals in the ECCS Division are between September 7-October 7 and January 7-February 7. Proposals submitted before or after (5 p.m., local time) the submission windows will be returned unreviewed. These submission windows do not apply to workshop proposals or proposals for Small Grants for Exploratory Research (SGER). The Division deadline for Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) and Research Experience for Teachers (RET) Supplements is April 1st.

The ECCS Division discourages multiple proposals by the same PI and/or Co-PI within the same submission window.

SYNOPSIS

The Electronics, Photonics and Device Technologies (EPDT) program seeks to improve the fundamental understanding of devices and components based on the principles of micro and nano electronics, photonics, magnetics, organics, electro-optics, electromechanics, electromagnetics, and related physical phenomena. The program enables discovery and innovation advancing the frontiers of spin electronics, molecular electronics, bioelectronics, nonsilicon electronics, flexible electronics, optoelectronics, microwave photonics, micro/nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS), sensors and actuators, power electronics, and mixed signal devices. EPDT supports related topics in quantum engineering and novel electromagnetic materials-based high frequency device solutions, radio frequency (RF) integrated circuits, and reconfigurable antennas needed for communications, telemedicine, and other wireless applications. The program supports cooperative efforts with the semiconductor industry on new nanoelectronics concepts beyond the scaling limits of silicon technology. EPDT additionally emphasizes emerging areas of diagnostic, wearable and implantable devices, and supports manipulation and measurement with nanoscale precision through new approaches to extreme ultraviolet metrology.

Areas of interest include:

  • Bioelectronics
  • Electromagnetics
  • Flexible Electronics
  • MEMS/NEMS
  • Micro/Nanoelectronics
  • Micro/Nanomagnetics
  • Microwave Photonics
  • Molecular Electronics
  • Nanophotonics
  • Optoelectronics
  • Power Electronics
  • Sensors and Actuators
  • Spin Electronics

ECCS will provide additional emphasis on emerging areas such as:

  • Diagnostic and Implantable Devices
  • Extreme Ultraviolet

Proposals for the EPDT program may involve collaborative research to capture the breadth of expertise needed for such multidisciplinary integrative activities. ECCS will consider supporting a limited number of small team proposals of three or more Investigators from different disciplines and/or universities.
