NSF's implementation of the revised 2 CFR

NSF Financial Assistance awards (grants and cooperative agreements) made on or after October 1, 2024, will be subject to the applicable set of award conditions, dated October 1, 2024, available on the NSF website. These terms and conditions are consistent with the revised guidance specified in the OMB Guidance for Federal Financial Assistance published in the Federal Register on April 22, 2024.

Important information for proposers

All proposals must be submitted in accordance with the requirements specified in this funding opportunity and in the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) that is in effect for the relevant due date to which the proposal is being submitted. It is the responsibility of the proposer to ensure that the proposal meets these requirements. Submitting a proposal prior to a specified deadline does not negate this requirement.

Synopsis

The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Division of Electrical and Communications Systems (ECS), Division of Civil and Mechanical Systems (CMS), Division of Chemical and Transport Systems (CTS) and Division of Design, Manufacturing and Industrial Innovation (DMII), of the Directorate for Engineering; and the Office of International Science and Engineering(INT) of the Directorate for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE), announces an Initiative on Spin Electronics for the 21st Century. This focused initiative seeks high-risk/high-return research on novel concepts in Spin Electronics and its applications. Emphasis will be on enabling technologies critical to the continued growth of Spin Electronics in the next decade to address the scientific issues and technological challenges associated with the underpinnings of quantum and coherent spin electronics, storage and sensing demands of information technology, quantum computing, quantum communications, and revolutionary molecular, chemical and mechanical systems.
