AIM Photonics Capabilities The American Institute of Manufacturing of Integrated Photonics (AIM Photonics) ( https://www.
aimphotonics. com ) is a public-private-partnership that focuses the nation’s premiere capabilities and expertise to capture and mature critical manufacturing domestic capability for integrated photonics.
The Institute’s mission is to seek to advance integrated photonic circuit manufacturing technology development while simultaneously providing access to state-of-the-art fabrication, packaging, and testing capabilities for small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs), academia and the government.
Research projects utilizing the AIM Photonics fabrication process technologies via multi-project wafer (MPW) runs should have an objective to bring a specific innovation to integrated photonics circuits and components or to demonstrate a new approach that uses integrated photonics as its differentiator.
For proposals submitted to NSF and recommended for funding following merit review, the grantee’s cost of the chip may be discounted by 50% of the stated cost by AIM, based on available space on the MPW shuttle run. Test, assembly and packaging services may be discounted by 15% of the stated cost. Note that MPW shuttle runs at discounted rates are offered on a space-available basis only.
It is recommended that the grantee check with AIM Photonics for run scheduling well in advance of the design due date.

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.
