Synopsis

To advance the understanding of novel quantum systems under the influence of time-periodic driving forces, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) have a mutual interest in exploring innovative concepts on the REsearch in FLoquet Engineered QuanTum Systems (REFLEQTS). For transformational capabilities promised by quantum science to become deployable, new approaches must be developed to create, control, and conserve fragile quantum states on demand.

This topic aligns with the National Quantum Initiative (NQI) as described in the National Science and Technology Council’s strategy to extend the research opportunity of Quantum Information Science and Engineering (QISE) by broadening the interagency collaboration and increasing global competitiveness in QISE research outcome that can strengthen National Security. 

This solicitation encourages research teams consisting of multiple Principal Investigators (PIs) from multiple institutions to submit proposals on transformative approaches and solutions in materials,

Synopsis

Program Mission:

The IUCRC program catalyzes breakthrough pre-competitive research by enabling close and sustained engagement between industry innovators, world-class academic teams, and government agencies.  IUCRCs help industry partners and government agencies connect directly and efficiently with university researchers to achieve three primary objectives: 1) Conduct high-impact research to meet shared and critical industrial needs in companies of all  sizes; 2) Enhance U.S. global leadership in driving innovative technology development, and 3)  Identify, mentor and develop a diverse, highly skilled science and engineering workforce.

Program Overview:

The IUCRC program provides a structure for academic researchers to conduct fundamental, pre-competitive research of shared interest to industry and government organizations. These organizations pay membership fees to a consortium so that they can collectively envision and fund research, with at least 90% of Member funds allocated to the direct costs of these shared research projects.

IUCRCs are formed

Synopsis

Through this initiative, the Directorate for STEM Education (EDU) and the  Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (TIP), in partnership with Micron Technology, Inc. (Micron) through the Micron Foundation, seek to support experiential learning opportunities for individuals from all professional and educational backgrounds, resulting in increased access to, and interest in, career pathways in emerging technology fields (e.g., advanced manufacturing, advanced wireless, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, quantum information science, semiconductors, and microelectronics). As NSF seeks to support the development of technologies in such fields, similar support will be needed to foster and grow a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce comprising and enabling all Americans to contribute to such innovation. Large-scale challenges like advances in microelectronics or artificial intelligence also require a STEM workforce that brings varied perspectives and expertise to further accelerate the translation of science and engineering discoveries into large-scale solutions. Moreover, as current and new emerging technologies continue to evolve, unforeseen issues around security, safety and privacy
