Princeton University | NIST https://www. nist. gov/chips/princeton-university-princeton Princeton University's proposed project, "IMAGINE: Inverse Methods and Generative AI for Algorithmic and Non-intuitive Design Explorations in RFICs," focuses on rapid, automated design and optimization from specifications to layout.
The project aims to reduce design time and cost while discovering novel design spaces that enhance RFIC performance. The team, comprising top researchers from academia and industry, employs deep learning and generative AI to create predictive models and designs for complex RFICs.
Artificial Intelligence Driven Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit Design Enablement (AIDRFIC) Program This anticipated award is through the NSTC’s Artificial Intelligence Driven Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit Design Enablement (AIDRFIC) Program.
This NSTC research and development program will address the domestic RFIC (Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit) industry and is focused on the adaptation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technology for use in RF design. Its objective is the successful demonstration of AI-based tools used to improve design productivity for RFICs thus lowering the risk of further investment in commercialization of the technology.

NSF announced ELEGANT on September 17, 2026, an Other Transaction Agreement Solutions Offering to translate low-dimensional semiconductor technologies into manufacturable platforms. Five translation themes, one Ecosystem Coordinator, and a rule that says you cannot bid for both. Here is how to read the structure before the deadline is published.

Its 2026 exploratory grants went to thirteen named institutions with no open call. For organizations outside that list, the path in runs through a specific set of moves — and the five-year term starting in 2027 is the window.
Read articleOn August 26, 2026, NSF named the STC class of 2026: TEMPEST at Michigan State, GENIE at Northwestern, and a human-robot co-adaptation center at UT Austin. $90 million total, $6 million a year each. The 2023 class was four centers and $120 million. The award size is intact; the shelf space shrank 25 percent — and that is the number that should reshape how you plan a center proposal.
