About this opportunity
This federal grant opportunity from the National Science Foundation seeks to increase research capacity and broaden participation in Quantum Information Science and Engineering. Applicants such as institutions of higher education, non-profits, and other organizations are encouraged to apply. A key objective is building critical mass at institutions not yet involved in QISE, including those from EPSCoR jurisdictions and minority-serving institutions. Proposals will be evaluated based on intellectual merit and broader impacts with a deadline of April 1, 2024.
Award amounts and performance locations will vary depending on the proposed project but funding is available under several NSF programs including Biological Sciences, Computer and Information Science and Engineering, Engineering, Integrative Activities, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences, STEM Education, and NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships. Coordination with the Department of Energy is intended to enhance investments and avoid duplication of funding across agencies.
Synopsis
The NSF Expanding Capacity in Quantum Information Science and Engineering (ExpandQISE) program aims to increase research capacity and broaden participation in Quantum Information Science and Engineering (QISE) and related disciplines through the creation of a diversified investment portfolio in research and education that will lead to scientific, engineering and technological breakthroughs, while securing a talent pipeline in a field where workforce needs of industry, government and academia continue to outgrow the available talent. The ExpandQISE program helps build and maintain a close connection between new efforts and existing impactful work in research, research training, education, outreach, and broadening participation done at the existing QISE Centers such as, for example but not limited to NSF QLCI Institutes, DOE National Research Centers, NSF Quantum Foundries, or leading QISE research Institutions, while creating and nurturing necessary critical mass at Institutions not yet fully involved in QISE. In keeping with the NSF goal of increasing the participation of all members of society in the scientific enterprise, institutions from EPSCoR jurisdictions, and institutions at which more than 50% of enrolled students come from groups that are currently under-represented in the sciences, e.g. minority-serving institutions (MSIs), are especially encouraged to apply. Followingthe agreement between the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation developed in the course of implementation of the National Quantum Initiative Act of 2018, the ExpandQISE program is coordinated with the Department of Energy (DOE), including sharing of information about submissions, the review processes and projects fundingcoordination. DOE Program Managers may also recommend reviewers and attend the review panels as observers. Principal Investigators submitting proposals to theNational Science Foundation (NSF) in response to this solicitation can expect that Program Managers from DOE will have access to the following information: letters of intent, white papers, proposals, unattributed reviews and panel summaries. DOE Program Managers may also recommend reviewers and attend the review panels as observers.Coordination with the DOE will help avoid duplication of funding by the agencies and contribute to enhancing the breadth and impact of the investments by each agency.
