--- ## Description The Electronics, Photonics, and Magnetic Devices (EPMD) program aimed to advance the fundamental understanding of devices and components grounded in micro- and nano-electronics, optics and photonics, optoelectronics, magnetics, electromechanics, and electromagnetics. The program supported research leading to innovation in areas such as nanoelectronics, spin electronics, molecular and organic electronics, bioelectronics, biomagnetics, non-silicon and flexible electronics, and quantum devices. Key research interests included: - Novel optical sources, photodetectors, and photonic integrated circuits - Single-photon quantum devices and nanophotonics - Optical imaging, sensing, and solar cell photovoltaics - Energy-efficient electronics, sensors, and mixed-signal devices - Quantum devices, electromagnetic materials, and metamaterial/plasmonic-based devices - Devices using organic, inorganic, or hybrid materials, including carbon-based and 2D atomic-layered materials - Next-generation memory devices - Wearable, implantable, and diagnostic devices - Advanced imaging and metrology approaches The program encouraged multidisciplinary and collaborative research, including small team proposals from different disciplines or institutions. --- ## Due Dates - No current deadlines; this program has been archived and is not accepting new proposals. --- ## Funding Amount - Award sizes varied by project scope. - Typical NSF awards in this area ranged from $100,000 to $500,000 per year for project durations of 3–5 years. - No cost sharing or matching was required. --- ## Eligibility - Open to a broad range of applicants ("Unrestricted"), including: - Universities and colleges - Nonprofit, non-academic organizations - For-profit organizations - State, local, and tribal governments - Other research institutions --- ## Application Process - Proposals were previously submitted in accordance with the NSF [Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG)](https://www.nsf.gov/policies/pappg). - Submission was via [NSF FastLane](https://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/), [Research.gov](https://www.research.gov/), or [Grants.gov](https://www.grants.gov/). - All proposals had to comply with the requirements outlined in the program solicitation and the PAPPG effective for the relevant deadline. --- ## Additional Information - This program is currently archived and not accepting proposals. - Award terms and conditions are governed by NSF’s updated policies, including revised guidance under 2 CFR as of October 1, 2024. - For future opportunities in similar areas, consult the [NSF Engineering Directorate](https://www.nsf.gov/eng) and [Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems (ECCS)](https://www.nsf.gov/eng/eccs). --- ## External Links - [Program Page & Description](https://www.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/epmd-electronics-photonics-magnetic-devices/13379/pd13-1517) - [NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG)](https://www.nsf.gov/policies/pappg) - [Browse Past Awards for this Program](https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/advancedSearchResult?ProgEleCode=151700&BooleanElement=Any&BooleanRef=Any&ActiveAwards=true#results) - [Grants.gov Listing](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/359445) --- ## Contact Information | Name | Email | Phone | Division/Group | |---------------------|-----------------------------------------|----------------|---------------------| | Usha Varshney | [uvarshne@nsf.gov](mailto:uvarshne@nsf.gov) | (703) 292-8339 | | | Dimitris Pavlidis | [dpavlidi@nsf.gov](mailto:dpavlidi@nsf.gov) | (703) 292-2216 | | | Nadia El-Masry | [nelmasry@nsf.gov](mailto:nelmasry@nsf.gov) | (703) 292-8339 | ENG/EEC | | Mahmoud Fallahi | [mfallahi@nsf.gov](mailto:mfallahi@nsf.gov) | (703) 292-4555 | | | Dominique Dagenais | [ddagenai@nsf.gov](mailto:ddagenai@nsf.gov) | (703) 292-2980 | ENG/ECCS | | NSF Grants.gov Support | [grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov](mailto:grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov) | | |
