Provides multi-year funding for university research projects that integrate circuits, devices, and systems disciplines to reduce AI hardware power consumption by two orders of magnitude or more. Funding supports doctoral students, equipment, travel, and conference attendance. Emphasizes joint proposals from investigators in different disciplines to foster cross-disciplinary innovation.
Eligible proposals must be genuinely cross-disciplinary, typically involving two investigators from different disciplines including circuits, devices, or systems. Single-investigator proposals venturing into a new discipline may be considered exceptionally.
