Quantum Sensing Challenges for Transformational Advances in Quantum Systems (QuSeC-TAQS)

Limited Submissions

The Quantum Sensing Challenges for Transformational Advances in Quantum Systems (QuSeC-TAQS) program supports interdisciplinary teams of three (3) or more investigators to explore highly innovative, original, and potentially transformative research on quantum sensing. The QuSeC-TAQS program supports coordinated efforts to develop and apply quantum sensor systems, with demonstrations resulting in proof of principle or field-testing of concepts and platforms that can benefit society. The QuSeC-TAQS program aligns with recommendations articulated in the strategy report, Bringing Quantum Sensors to Fruition, that was produced by the National Science and Technology Council Subcommittee on Quantum Information Science, under the auspices of the National Quantum Initiative.

The QuSeC-TAQS program encourages activities with the potential to increase broader impacts of quantum sensors research, for example with educational and training activities, or collaborations and partnerships. Partnerships may include liaisons with industry, National Labs, other Federal Departments or Agencies, and/or international collaborators. In addition to intellectual merit, proposals will be judged on the broader impacts of activities including possible collaborations, partnerships, and training, as well as the potential for these activities to accelerate bringing quantum sensors to fruition.

Application Instructions

Please submit:

  1. A one‐page letter of intent with a description of proposed aims and approach
  2. If the final application requires a diversity statement or statement of broader impacts, please summarize your plans to address the specific requirements on an additional page.
  3. CV (not biosketch) of the PI

to limitedsubs@uw.edu by 5:00 PM Wednesday, October 26, 2022. Proposals are due to the sponsor 12/16/2022, so you will need to have your materials in to the Office of Sponsored Programs by 12/7/2022 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.
