Synopsis
NIST is soliciting proposals from eligible applicants for research, prototyping, and commercial solutions that advance microelectronics technology in the U.S., to be considered for funding by the CHIPS Research and Development Office (CRDO).
Who can apply
- Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)
Eligible applicants are for-profit organizations; non-profit organizations; accredited institutions of higher education; Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), and Federal entities (e.g., Federal departments and agencies – see Section III.3). Eligible applicants must be a domestic entity. Individuals and unincorporated sole proprietors are not eligible to receive funding under this BAA. Eligible subawardees include all eligible applicants as well as foreign partners not otherwise prohibited (e.g., foreign adversaries), subject to compliance with specific requirements (see Section VI). CRDO strongly recommends that Federal entities and FFRDCs seeking to respond to this BAA as an applicant first contact the CRDO POC to discuss eligibility; in areas of mutual interest, alternative funding mechanisms may be pursued independent of this BAA.
