Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement - Center of Excellence (COE) Radiation Effect in Electronic Materials, Circuits, Devices, and Systems - is cataloged under number FOA-AFRL-AFOSR-2021-0001 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 12.800, posted by Air Force Office of Scientific Research. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on December 1, 2020 and last updated on March 16, 2021. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a grant.
Award economics. The award range on file is Up to $1,000,000. The agency has projected $5.0 million in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 1 award. If the agency funds the expected 1 award from the $5.0 million estimated pool, the average award works out to roughly $5.0 million. Cost sharing is not required, so applicants do not need to commit matching funds to be competitive on this opportunity. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.
Deadline and action path. This opportunity closed on March 31, 2021. Future funding cycles may be published under the same CFDA number, so monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Review the Eligibility section below carefully, federal eligibility categories (nonprofit, state or local government, tribal, individual, educational institution, small business) have distinct registration and reporting requirements. Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed, it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities. Before acting on the deadline or award figures above, verify them directly on the official Grants.gov listing, amendments can change dates and amounts after this page was last refreshed.

Close Date
March 31, 2021
Pre-proposal inquiries and questions must be received in writing by electronic mail not later than21 Dec 2020 at 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST) to be considered. White papers must be received electronically by email to kenneth.goretta@us.af.mil by 7 Jan 2021 at 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time to be considered. White paper evaluation is meant to initially assess the capability of a proposed effort and is NOT a selection process. White papers can be up to 10 pages in length plus references. White papers should minimally articulate:1.) An initial list of members of the proposed team. 2.) The main technical components of the proposed research and how it aligns with the goals of the COE. 3.) The specific proposed activities. 4.) How plans would educate students and AFRL’s Technology Directorates, and ultimately further the interests of the USAF. Government will respond on white paper determination before COB on 31 Jan 2021.Proposals must be received electronically through Grants.gov by 31 Mar 2021 at 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time to be considered.

Description
The USAF’s Space Enterprise vision, where autonomy and decision-making are pushed ever closer to space-based assets, and where unprecedented computational performance is expected on-station, is bringing to the fore new sets of technologies. Examples of emerging materials and the capabilities they will engender include:· Wide- and ultrawide-bandgap (WG/UWG) semiconductors, with the possibility of Ga2O3, nitrides, and diamond further in the future, for use in power electronics and RF amplifiers for space communications.· New narrow-gap materials, such as InGaP and InGaPSb, for next-generation mid-wavelength IR sensors.· New semiconductor alloys, IV-IV, III-V, or II-VI, for use in next-generation solar cells.· Two-dimensional (2-D), graphene-like materials, such as MoS2, and their heterostructures.· Devices based on new materials, and displaying new physics, such as memristors, synstors, and coupled oscillators, that enable very-low-power neuromorphic processing.· New device architectures, such as gate-all-around field effect transistors and massively 3-D integrated circuits with unforeseen radiation interactions.· New classes of bio-inspired algorithms and architectures, such as spiking deep neural networks, designed to function in noisy environments.· New directed energy devices that use electron beams to generate high-power microwave sources, and the concomitant e-beam damage.All of these materials and technologies require understanding of and mitigating the effects of space radiation environments. At the same time, there are new experimental and theoretical techniques that render many of the problems solvable. In light of this confluence between pressing problems and new techniques, AFRL intends to establish a COE in Radiation Effects in Materials, Devices, Circuits, and Systems. It will seek to discover the fundamental, underlying mechanisms that lead to degradation in device, circuit, and system performance, as well as a broad range of mitigation strategies. Studies of single-event effects and mitigation strategies must be part of any proposal. The center will pursue insertion of the new knowledge base into the next generation of modelling and simulation tools, including verification and validation of the resulting models.
