The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded the University of North Carolina at Charlotte $739,941 under the Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) program through the International Research Experiences for Students – Pathway for Research and Innovation in Semiconductor Manufacturing (IRES-PRISM) initiative, effective October 1, 2025, with completion targeted for June 30, 2030. This project grant establishes a summer international research experience site in Taiwan to provide U.S. undergraduate and graduate students with hands-on training in cutting-edge semiconductor device research and manufacturing. Over the five-year period, the program will support 40 student researchers in collaborations with leading Taiwanese academic and research institutions, enabling participants to gain practical experience in frontier research areas including thermal management, Internet of Things sensors, and data-driven sustainable manufacturing practices. The IRES-PRISM program is designed to develop the next generation of U.S. engineers capable of strengthening American leadership in semiconductor manufacturing and scientific research. Participants will engage in structured research opportunities including undergraduate cooperative education placements, graduate research projects, and dual master's degree programs in semiconductor disciplines, all supported by mentorship from both U.S. and Taiwanese researchers. The University of Cincinnati's Sponsored Research Services Division serves as a sub-awardee, contributing to program implementation. By immersing students in Taiwan's vibrant semiconductor ecosystem and robust industrial base, the program positions participants to advance U.S. innovation and competitiveness in a critical technology sector where the U.S. currently produces approximately 10% of global semiconductor supply.Federal Grant Award Summary
