About this file
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Commerce (DOC) seeking market intelligence on establishing a National Network Coordination Hub for a National Network for Microelectronics Education (NNME) program. The RFI requests responses on the respondent's vision, capabilities, and experience to develop a robust and ambitious NNME program. This includes managing education and workforce activities nationwide, developing regional partnerships, creating diverse workforce pipelines, facilitating industry partnerships, leveraging shared infrastructure, increasing awareness, and collaborating with the National Semiconductor Technology Center's Workforce Center of Excellence. Respondents are asked to provide feedback on priority areas and metrics for the NNME program. The RFI provides background on the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 and the goals of the NNME program to address the expected shortage of skilled microelectronics workers in the United States.
