NSF Florida Semiconductor Engine - Regional Innovation Engines | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation NSF Florida Semiconductor Engine The NSF Florida Semiconductor Engine , led by the International Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing Research (ICAMR Inc., doing business as BRIDG), is accelerating the United States' capability to design and manufacture advanced packaging for semiconductor chips, rooting a vital industry on American shores and securing national defense.
Addressing a critical U.S. need: Semiconductors are central to U.S. economic competitiveness and national security. Every major industry in the world relies on their availability to produce and advance critical technologies.
While America leads the world in chip design, the vast majority of semiconductors are manufactured and packaged in other countries, leaving the nation vulnerable to supply chain disruptions, economic instability and national security risks.
The NSF Florida Semiconductor Engine is establishing a U.S. industrial base for advanced chip production and packaging, an emerging set of techniques that allow manufacturers to produce and assemble chips in new ways that are vital to advances in artificial intelligence, computing, military technologies and more.
With an extensive network of cross-sector partners and an unprecedented fabrication facility owned by Osceola County, the NSF Engine is growing into a thriving hub for one of the most critical industries in the country and is equally committed to developing a world-class workforce to meet those development and manufacturing needs.
Accelerating innovation: The NSF Florida Semiconductor Engine fueled five use-inspired research projects within their coalition of partners, which are advancing technologies in semiconductor packaging, security and microelectronics systems designed to work in extreme environments. Attracting additional investment: Securing $2.
5 million in new financial and in-kind resources, the NSF Florida Semiconductor Engine is lining up add-on investments to support ongoing advanced chip packaging research and production.
Expanding and training the future workforce: The NSF Florida Semiconductor Engine funded the first associate of science degree in semiconductor engineering technology in Florida at Valencia College, with plans to launch in the fall of 2025 and expand to all state colleges. Growing the local economy: In partnership with Osceola County, this NSF Engine has drawn important businesses to the region.
One of these is semiconductor manufacturer ELSPES, which is building a $470 million manufacturing facility and establishing its world headquarters in NeoCity, the NSF Florida Semiconductor Engine's technology district. They also activated a promising partnership with SkyWater Technologies to accelerate access to domestic development and manufacturing services for microelectronics advanced packaging.
Supporting America's veterans: The NSF Florida Semiconductor Engine values the contributions of veterans and relies on their specific expertise and leadership skills to inform their semiconductor ecosystem efforts.
Both veterans and active-duty members of the U.S. military serve in leadership roles in the NSF Engine, including executive leadership, grants management, research and development technology translation and ecosystem building. Lead organization: ICAMR Inc., doing business as BRIDG — economic development organization. Region of service: Osceola County, Florida, and surrounding counties (Central Florida).
Key technology areas Advanced computing and semiconductors, advanced materials, advanced communications, advanced energy and industrial efficiency technologies, artificial intelligence, data and cybersecurity, robotics and advanced manufacturing, quantum information science and technology.

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.
