⇒ Limited Submission - CHIPS AI/AE for Rapid, Industry-informed Sustainable Semiconductor Materials and Processes (CARISSMA) Competition
Subject to the availability of funds, this NOFO seeks applications for industry-informed, university-based artificial intelligence-powered autonomous experimentation (AI/AE) collaborations, including research and development, education and workforce development, and related activities relevant to sustainable semiconductor materials and processes.
If successful, awards made under this NOFO will support the long-term viability of next-generation domestic semiconductor manufacturing, accelerating the discovery, design, synthesis, and adoption of materials and processes, and the development of new researchers needed to meet the industry’s technology, economic, and sustainability goals.
Concept Papers: The submission of a concept paper is required. Concept papers will be accepted only through Grants.gov. Concept papers must be received at Grants.gov no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, on January 13, 2025. Concept papers received after the specified deadline will not be reviewed or considered.
Questions?
Any inquiries regarding this NOFO must be submitted to the agency points of contact listed in Section 7 of this NOFO. Applicants may submit questions by email to the appropriate agency point of contact with “2025NIST-CHIPS-AIAE-Sustainability-01” in the subject line.

⇒ NSF launches trainee track to help prepare graduate students to enter STEM careers
The new track will expand the NSF Research Traineeship Program in key technology areas
The U.S. National Science Foundation announced a new track of the NSF Research Traineeship program (NRT) designed to help graduate students at non-R1 institutions of higher education (IHEs) – institutions without high research activity – develop the skills, knowledge and competencies needed to pursue a range of careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The NSF Research Traineeship Institutional Partnership Pilot (NRT-IPP) will catalyze a new partnership approach, bringing industry to the table to in turn enable students to receive industry-relevant experience in key technology areas as outlined in the "CHIPS and Science Act of 2022."
The NRT program has long been dedicated to shaping and supporting effective training of students at the graduate level. The program focuses on high-priority interdisciplinary or convergent research areas using comprehensive traineeship models that are innovative, evidence-based and aligned with changing workforce and research needs. NRT-IPP advances these goals with further emphases on industry and specific focus areas within STEM.
The program invites proposals to test, develop and implement innovative and effective STEM graduate education models leading to industry-relevant graduate programs at non-R1 institutions. These institutions will collaborate with industry partners and partners at IHEs who have successfully implemented or are implementing NRT projects in the chosen focus area(s) identified for this new track.
⇒ Information Management Prototype for Clinical and Translational Research (IMPACT-CTR)
Dear Translational Team Leaders:
I invite you to participate in a study I’m conducting to understand how funded translational research teams manage their information. This study, Information Management Prototype for Clinical and Translational Research (IMPACT-CTR), is funded by an R01 from the National Library of Medicine and aims to understand the tools and strategies teams use in seeking, using, creating, sharing, storing, and retrieving information while conducting collaborative clinical and translational research. We will use what we learn to create training materials to help teams develop evidence-based information strategies that can make CTR - and all scientific work - more efficient and effective.
To participate in this study, please complete the interest form, and a member of the research team will reach out to schedule a brief informational call!
