HR001118S0014 Abstract 5

Abstract Summary Slide [Using the slide template provided as Attachment 1 to the BAA, provide a summary in PowerPoint that effectively and succinctly conveys the main objective, key innovations, expected impact, and other unique aspects of the proposed project. Include the PowerPoint slide as a separate attachment to this document.]

Goals and Impact [Describe what is being proposed and what difference it will make (qualitatively and quantitatively) if successful. Describe the innovative aspects of the project in the context of existing capabilities and approaches, clearly delineating the relationship of this work to any other projects from the past and present.]

Technical Plan [Provide answers to the following questions:

· What is the proposed work attempting to accomplish or do?

· How is it done today, and what are the limitations?

· Who will care and what will the impact be if the work is successful?

· How much will it cost, and how long will it take?

Outline and address technical challenges inherent in the approach and possible solutions for overcoming potential problems. Provide appropriate measurable milestones (quantitative if possible) at intermediate stages of the project to demonstrate progress, and a plan for achieving the milestones. The Technical Plan must:

· Provide a new method of characterizing light-matter-interactions. This new method must be useful as a predictive, parametric, robust, and scalable design tool.

· Map structure to function and function to structure. Proposals must quantify the range of materials and physical structures that can be characterized, and the range of electromagnetic interactions that are predicted.

· Be generalizable. Although an NLM model may only be initially valid for a small subset of possible materials and possible light-matter-interactions, the proposers must show a path to generalizing the approach to broad classes of materials and broad interactions with electromagnetic waves.

· Advance a specific, focused application. All models should be capable of immediately advancing the state-of-the-art in one or more specific focused applications. Proposers should quantify how their proposed work will advance specific application(s) chosen.]

Capabilities/Management Plan [Provide a brief summary of expertise of the team, including subawardees and key personnel. While teaming arrangements do not need to be finalized at the time of abstract submission, mention of potential teaming/collaboration arrangements is highly encouraged. Identify a principal investigator for the project and include a description of the team’s organization including roles and responsibilities.]

Cost and Schedule [Provide a cost estimate for resources (e.g., labor, materials) and any subawardees over the 18 months of the program, broken down by Phase]

Bibliography [Provide a brief (no more than 2 pages) bibliography with links to relevant papers, references, reports, resumes of key team members, etc.]
