Scalable Nanomanufacturing for Integrated Systems (SNM-IS)

Limited Submissions

The Scalable Nanomanufacturing for Integrated Systems (SNM-IS) solicitation is changed from the previous Scalable Nanomanufacturing (SNM) solicitation in that the objective has shifted from research in large-scale manufacturing of single-component nanomaterials and nanostructures to investigations in scalable nanomanufacturing and integration of multi-component nano-enabled integrated systems. The emphasis is to frame proposals in the context of the realization of integrated systems for the eventual economic manufacture of demonstrably useful nano-enabled products in high volume or customized products in low volume, responsibly and safely. An integrated system is a system that combines different functions together to work as one entity. System integration is the process of assembling component subsystems such that the subsystems function together as a system.

 

Any proposal submitted in response to this solicitation should be submitted in accordance with the revised NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 16-1), which is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 25, 2016. Please be advised that proposers who opt to submit prior to January 25, 2016, must also follow the guidelines contained in NSF 16-1.

Application Instructions

Please submit:

  • a 1-to-2 page letter of intent with a description of proposed aims and approach
  • Biosketch or CV of the PI
  • A letter of support from the Dean or Chair. This letter of support signifies that the Dean or Chair have ensured that the nominee and application are likely to be of sufficient quality to be competitive nationally

 

to research@uw.edu by 5:00 PM Monday November 28, 2016. Full proposals are due to the sponsor 1/13/17, so you will need to get your materials to OSP 1/5/17 if given the go-ahead by the review committee.

Inquiries and Contact Information

Investigators who identify a grant, award or fellowship program that restricts the number of applications that can be submitted from an Institution should immediately contact their Chairperson, Associate Dean for Research (or Dean, if no ADR) and the Office of Research (see below) if they intend to prepare a response. Failure to do so, or to meet the deadlines for submission of pre-proposal, will preclude submission of the application through the Office of Sponsored Programs.

For general inquiries, or to request a listing of a limited submission opportunity that should be but is not already listed, please email us at limitedsubs@uw.edu.
