The award aims to accelerate serverless cloud network performance through a cross-layered approach optimizing function chain communication in serverless cloud environments. Sri International will develop a new QUIC-based network substrate to simultaneously...

This is a $215,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, under the Export Control and Related Border Security (EXBS) Program (CFDA 19.901). The project aims to equip partner nations with capabilities to identify and counteract chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) disinformation, and foster a unified approach to craft and integrate strategies into public messaging and crisis communications plans....

This $399,752 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Science, Technology, Business and/or Education Outreach program (CFDA 11.620) funds a Phase II project to develop standards and open-source software for digital data associated with semiconductor electronics. The project aims to support NIST initiatives related to the CHIPS Act and provide digital data standards to accelerate advanced materials research and development for...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $437,250 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct pooled in vivo screening of combination gene therapies for enhancing axonal regeneration after spinal cord injury (SCI). The key objectives are to 1) perform CRISPR screening to identify the most effective...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Computer and Network Systems, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), provides $173,000 to the Long Beach Research Foundation of California State University to investigate secure embedded field-programmable gate array (EFPGA) redaction solutions and dynamic key schemes for hardware security and reliability from March 2023 to February 2025. The project aims to develop a comprehensive...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program provides $600,000 to Georgia Tech Research Corp to conduct research and analysis on Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) adoption for securing internet routing. The key objectives are to: (i) identify organizations lagging in RPKI implementation, (ii) understand the barriers they face in adoption, and (iii) develop targeted recommendations to promote wider...

This Project Grant award for $433,217 from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports the development of scalable, coherent, and networked quantum systems based on optically active spin qubits in silicon carbide (SiC). The research aims to overcome key challenges in quantum photonics, such as coupling quantum states to scalable photonic platforms while minimizing decoherence. The project will create in-house SiC-on-insulator substrates to fabricate...
