Center for Alternative Sustainable and Intelligent Computing (ASIC) The U.S. National Science Foundation Industry-University Cooperative Research Centers (IUCRC) program is currently active and is managed by the Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (TIP) Directorate; however, it is not accepting proposals at this time. NSF expects to release an updated solicitation later in 2026, subject to availability of funds.
Center for Alternative Sustainable and Intelligent Computing (ASIC) The Center for Alternative Sustainable and Intelligent Computing (ASIC) focuses on designing alternative computing platforms for cognitive applications that perform inefficiently on conventional von Neumann architectures.
ASIC is motivated by the recent rapid developments in technology related to cognitive applications, and aims to enable high performance and energy-efficient machine intelligence through novel hardware circuits, architecture design, and optimized computation models.
Defense technology research includes: IUCRC Proposal Phase 1 Duke: Center for Alternative Sustainable and Intelligent Computing (ASIC) Neuromorphic circuits, which mimic the human brain's structure and processing ability on silicon, promise to enable ultralow power, high performance computing.
Various key breakthroughs have emerged from exponential advances in computing technology and understanding brains, with increasing interest from governments, research institutes, and business entities. Nonetheless, existing computing architectures can hardly demonstrate universal advantages in a large variety of neuromorphic computing tasks.
To address this challenge, this project will build the Center of Alternative Sustainable and Intelligent Computing (ASIC). ASIC is a collaborative industry-university partnership that joins leading industry members with academic researchers to conduct multidisciplinary science and research to enable high performance and energy efficient machine intelligence through novel circuits, architecture, and computation models.
The Center of Alternative Sustainable and Intelligent Computing (ASIC) focuses on alternative computing platforms for cognitive applications, which are in general difficult to be efficiently performed on conventional von Neumann architecture. The ASIC Duke University (ASIC-Duke) Site will serve as the lead Site for ASIC and will lead the coordination and management of the Center.
Research at the ASIC Duke Site will focus on industry-driven hardware innovations, especially infrastructure and implementation. The establishment of ASIC is expected to accelerate the development of new computing diagrams in industry sectors and expedites technology transfer from research discoveries to practical solutions.
ASIC research will have broad impact on the computer and IT industries by introducing alternative computing platforms that complement the conventional computing platforms built on von Neumann architectures in the short term, and position alternative sustainable and intelligent computing equivalents important in long term.
The knowledge and expertise developed via ASIC will effectively enable the predicted boom in cognitive applications and their urgent demands for hardware and software support. The talent and expertise of center PIs and the industry partners are integrated to enhance the competence of the center members and accelerate technology transfer. ASIC research may involve academic and industrial data along with public domain data.
This data and the resulting research outputs will be maintained using appropriate best practices for each type of data for a period of three years after the closing of ASIC. A central repository, suitably tagged for appropriate referencing and documentation, will be set up at https://asic. pratt.
duke. edu for maintaining the acquired and generated data from center projects. Access to all models and project results will be stored online and made available for downloading in near real time to respond to approved user requests.
This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

TCUP lists eight funding tracks and roughly $10.3M a year, but the October 14, 2026 deadline applies to only three of them — CHAI, Pre-TI, and TCUP Partnerships — and each carries a restriction that disqualifies most applicants. Here is the track-by-track math.
Read articleNSF 26-513 makes roughly $100 million available for up to 10 State and Regional AI Infrastructure Hubs at $4M to $12M each over five years. One award per state or multi-state region. One proposal per organization. And NSF is not buying you GPUs — it funds the coordination, the workforce and the faculty training, while the compute has to come from partners you have to already have.
Read articleAs of September 12, NSF had obligated $6.3 billion across 6,200 grants versus $8.1 billion and 8,600 last year. AHRQ has made 61 awards. Judge Allison Burroughs ordered the government to report by September 28 on whether IES will obligate $180 million before it expires. Here is what actually happens to the money on October 1 — and what it means for your FY2027 application.
