SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Catalog of 

Federal Domestic Assistance Name and 

Number: Measurement and Engineering 

Research and Standards—11.609. 

Program Description: The National 

Institute of Standards and Technology 

(NIST) seeks research and development 

(R&D) partnerships that promote 

directed basic research at universities 

focused on the long-term research needs 

of industry in specific technological 

sectors important for U.S. economic 

competitiveness. NIST seeks to support 

a program of one or more projects that 

involves an industry-led partnership 

that can include commercial, academic, 

non-profit, and/or government 

organizations to address the technical 

challenges highlighted in the 

International Technology Roadmap for 

Semiconductors (ITRS) roadmap, 

including the characterization and 

measurement issues inherent in the use 

of nanoscale electronics to develop the 

next logic switch beyond 

complementary metal oxide 

semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The 

program is expected to leverage Federal 

financial support with that of other 

partners from industry to fund research 

at universities. Through the formation of 

a formal competitive process within a 

partnership (hereinafter called ‘‘the 

consortium’’), a funded consortium is 

expected to create a process for the 

review, selection, award and monitoring 

of research awards to universities to be 

made by the consortium in support of 

addressing the technical challenges 

associated with nanoscale electronics 

and the development of the next logic 

switch beyond CMOS technology. 

Funding Availability: Proposals will 

be considered for cooperative 

agreements with durations up to five 

years subject to the availability of funds, 

satisfactory progress, and the continuing 

relevance to national and NIST 

priorities. Applicants should submit 

scopes of work and budgets for each 

proposed project year. The anticipated 

level of funding is potentially up to $3 

million per year. NIST will determine 

whether to fund one award for the full 

amount; to divide funds into multiple 

awards; or not to select any proposal for 

funding, upon completing the selection 

process described in this notice. One 

award is likely. 

Statutory Authority: 15 U.S.C. Sec. 

3704(c)(11) and (12), and Sec. 3706. 

Eligibility: The NIST Consortium/ 

Consortia for Post-CMOS 

Nanoelectronics Research Program is 

open to any industry-led consortium 

consisting of any number of commercial 

organizations; institutions of higher 

education; nonprofit organizations; and/ 

or units of State, local, and/or Indian 

tribal governments. Tax exempt 

organizations formed under 26 U.S.C. 

section 501(c)(4) are ineligible for this 

program if they engage in lobbying as 

defined in the Lobbying Disclosure Act 

of 1995, 2 U.S.C. sections 1601–1607. 

The managing entity of the 

consortium must be a legal entity based 

in the United States. 

Review and Selection Process: All 

applications received in response to this 

announcement will be reviewed to 

determine whether or not they are 

complete and responsive to the scope of 

the stated program objectives. 

Incomplete or non-responsive 

applications will not be reviewed for 

technical merit. The Program will retain 

one copy of each non-responsive 

application for three years for record 

keeping purposes and destroy all other 

copies. 

Responsive proposals will be 

evaluated by an independent, objective 

panel composed of professionally and 

technically qualified NIST employees 

using the evaluation criteria in this 

notice. The reviewers will reach a 

consensus score resulting in a rank 

order of applicants. 

The Director of the NIST Program 

Office, acting as the Selecting Official, 

will make the award selection. In 

making the award selection, the 

Selecting Official will take into 

consideration the panels’ technical 

evaluation. The Selecting Official may 

choose a proposal out of rank order 

based upon one or more of the following 

factors: (1) Availability of funds, (2) 

Redundancy, (3) Program objectives 

described in the Funding Opportunity 

Description section of the Federal 

Funding Opportunity Notice for this 

program, and (4) Logistical concerns 

that would be detrimental to the success 

or timely completion of the proposal 

objectives. Therefore, the highest 

scoring proposal(s) may not necessarily 

be selected for an award. If an award is 

made to an applicant that deviates from 

the scores of the reviewers, the Selecting 

Official shall justify the selection in 

writing based on selection factors 

described above. The Selecting Official 

may select all, none, or some of the 

applications for funding. 

The final approval of selected 

applications and award of financial 

assistance will be made by the NIST 

Grants Officer based on compliance 

with application requirements as 

published in this notice, compliance 

with applicable legal and regulatory 

requirements, whether the application 

furthers the objectives of the 

Department of Commerce, and whether 

the recommended applicants appear to 

be responsible. Applicants may be asked 

to modify objectives, work plans, or 

budgets and provide supplemental 

information required by the agency 

prior to award. The award decision of 

the Grants Officer is final. Applicants 

should allow up to 90 days processing 

time. 

Unsuccessful applicants will be 

notified in writing. The Program will 

retain one copy of each unsuccessful 

application for three years for record 

keeping purposes. The remaining copies 

will be destroyed. 

Evaluation Criteria: For the NIST 

Consortia for Post-CMOS 

Nanoelectronics Research Program, 

proposals will be evaluated upon the 

following three equally weighted 

criteria: 

Composition of Consortium and 

Technical Expertise: Proposals must 

provide a detailed description of the 

consortium. The breadth of the 

consortium in terms of the involvement 

of multiple industry partners, 

institutions of higher learning, nonprofit organizations, and/or the 

participation of State and/or local 

governments will be evaluated. The 

proposal must illustrate the technical 


cprice-sewell on DSK89S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
25266 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 86 / Friday, May 4, 2007 / Notices 

expertise of the consortium members 

relevant to the application of nanoscale 

electronics towards the development of 

fundamentally new approaches to 

circumvent the inherent thermal 

limitations for switches based on charge 

transfer to research on nanoscale 

electronics. 

Support for Research: Proposals must 

provide a detailed description of 

resources that the consortium is willing 

to apply towards research on postCMOS nanoelectronics. Proposals must 

detail the nature of the 25% or more 

recipient contribution. The total amount 

of recipient contribution and its 

application to R&D will be evaluated. 

For example, proposals that 

demonstrate support for R&D in terms of 

(in order of priority) direct grants for 

research, salary support for scientists, or 

access to equipment will receive a 

higher ranking than proposals that 

count overhead or other administrative 

costs as a part of the consortium’s 

contributions. 

Quality of Proposal: Proposals will be 

evaluated on the breadth and quality of 

the process used to implement the 

program. Proposals should describe how 

the consortium will manage the funds to 

support R&D in the area of post-CMOS 

nanoelectronics. Specifically, proposals 

must describe: how the availability of 

funds will be announced, who is 

eligible to receive funding, how 

proposals will be evaluated in terms of 

merit and relevance to industry needs, 

a willingness to fund research on 

multiple alternative state variables, 

mechanisms for avoiding conflict of 

interest, and plans and metrics for 

evaluating the outputs of the funded 

proposals. If the proposed consortium 

contains university members, a 

university consortium member may not 

be involved in selecting itself for a 

subaward. If the consortium contains 

university members and nonconsortium-member universities are 

eligible for subawards, the proposal 

must describe how the consortium will 

fairly evaluate research proposals from 

university researchers outside the 

original membership of the consortium. 

Cost Share Requirements: The 

Consortium members must provide a 

minimum of a 25 percent match of NIST 

funds. 

The Department of Commerce PreAward Notification Requirements for 

Grants and Cooperative Agreements: 

The Department of Commerce PreAward Notification Requirements for 

Grants and Cooperative Agreements 

contained in the Federal Register notice 

of December 30, 2004 (69 FR 78389) is 

applicable to this notice. On the form 

SF–424, the applicant’s 9-digit Dun and 

Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering 

System (DUNS) number must be entered 

in the Applicant Identifier block (68 FR 

38402). 

Collaborations with NIST Employees: 

All applications should include a 

description of any work proposed to be 

performed by an entity other than the 

applicant, and the cost of such work 

should ordinarily be included in the 

budget. 

If an applicant proposes collaboration 

with NIST, the statement of work 

should include a statement of this 

intention, a description of the 

collaboration, and prominently identify 

the NIST employee(s) involved, if 

known. Any collaboration by a NIST 

employee must be approved by 

appropriate NIST management and is at 

the sole discretion of NIST. Prior to 

beginning the merit review process, 

NIST will verify the approval of the 

proposed collaboration. Any 

unapproved collaboration will be 

stricken from the proposal prior to the 

merit review. 

Use of NIST Intellectual Property: If 

the applicant anticipates using any 

NIST-owned intellectual property to 

carry out the work proposed, the 

applicant should identify such 

intellectual property. This information 

will be used to ensure that no NIST 

employee involved in the development 

of the intellectual property will 

participate in the review process for that 

competition. In addition, if the 

applicant intends to use NIST-owned 

intellectual property, the applicant must 

comply with all statutes and regulations 

governing the licensing of Federal 

government patents and inventions, 

described at 35 U.S.C. sec. 200–212, 37 

CFR part 401, 15 CFR 14.36, and in 

section B.20 of the Department of 

Commerce Pre-Award Notification 

Requirements published on December 

30, 2004 (69 FR 78389). Questions about 

these requirements may be directed to 

the Counsel for NIST, 301–975–2803. 

Any use of NIST-owned intellectual 

property by a proposer is at the sole 

discretion of NIST and will be 

negotiated on a case-by-case basis if a 

project is deemed meritorious. The 

applicant should indicate within the 

statement of work whether it already 

has a license to use such intellectual 

property or whether it intends to seek 

one. 

If any inventions made in whole or in 

part by a NIST employee arise in the 

course of an award made pursuant to 

this notice, the United States 

government may retain its ownership 

rights in any such invention. Licensing 

or other disposition of NIST’s rights in 

such inventions will be determined 

solely by NIST, and include the 

possibility of NIST putting the 

intellectual property into the public 

domain. 

Collaborations Making Use of Federal 

Facilities: All applications should 

include a description of any work 

proposed to be performed using Federal 

Facilities. If an applicant proposes use 

of NIST facilities, the statement of work 

should include a statement of this 

intention and a description of the 

facilities. Any use of NIST facilities 

must be approved by appropriate NIST 

management and is at the sole 

discretion of NIST. Prior to beginning 

the merit review process, NIST will 

verify the availability of the facilities 

and approval of the proposed usage. 

Any unapproved facility use will be 

stricken from the proposal prior to the 

merit review. Examples of some 

facilities that may be available for 

collaborations are listed on the NIST 

Technology Services Web site, http:// 

ts.nist.gov/. 

Initial Screening of all Applications: 

All applications received in response to 

this announcement will be reviewed to 

determine whether or not they are 

complete and responsive to the scope of 

the stated program objectives. 

Incomplete or non-responsive 

applications will not be reviewed for 

technical merit. The Program will retain 

one copy of each non-responsive 

application for three years for record 

keeping purposes. The remaining copies 

will be destroyed. 

Paperwork Reduction Act: The 

standard forms in the application kit 

involve a collection of information 

subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act. 

The use of Standard Forms 424, 424A, 

424B, SF–LLL, and CD–346 have been 

approved by OMB under the respective 

Control Numbers 0348–0043, 0348– 

0044, 0348–0040, 0348–0046, and 0605– 

0001. 

Notwithstanding any other provision 

of the law, no person is required to 

respond to, nor shall any person be 

subject to a penalty for failure to comply 

with, a collection subject to the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act, unless that collection of 

information displays a currently valid 

OMB Control Number. 

Research Projects Involving Human 

Subjects, Human Tissue, Data or 

Recordings Involving Human Subjects: 

Any proposal that includes research 

involving human subjects, human 

tissue, data or recordings involving 

human subjects must meet the 

requirements of the Common Rule for 

the Protection of Human Subjects, 

codified for the Department of 

Commerce at 15 CFR part 27. In 


cprice-sewell on DSK89S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 86 / Friday, May 4, 2007 / Notices 25267 

addition, any proposal that includes 

research on these topics must be in 

compliance with any statutory 

requirements imposed upon the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (DHHS) and other federal 

agencies regarding these topics, all 

regulatory policies and guidance 

adopted by DHHS, FDA, and other 

Federal agencies on these topics, and all 

Presidential statements of policy on 

these topics. 

NIST will accept the submission of 

human subjects protocols that have been 

approved by Institutional Review 

Boards (IRBs) possessing a current 

registration filed with DHHS and to be 

performed by institutions possessing a 

current, valid Federal-wide Assurance 

(FWA) from DHHS. NIST will not issue 

a single project assurance (SPA) for any 

human subjects protocol proposed to 

NIST. 

On August 9, 2001, the President 

announced his decision to allow Federal 

funds to be used for research on existing 

human embryonic stem cell lines as 

long as prior to his announcement (1) 

The derivation process (which 

commences with the removal of the 

inner cell mass from the blastocyst) had 

already been initiated and (2) the 

embryo from which the stem cell line 

was derived no longer had the 

possibility of development as a human 

being. NIST will follow guidance issued 

by the National Institutes of Health at 

http://ohrp.osophs.dhhs.gov/ 

humansubjects/guidance/stemcell.pdf 

for funding such research. 

Research Projects Involving Vertebrate 

Animals: Any proposal that includes 

research involving vertebrate animals 

must be in compliance with the 

National Research Council’s ‘‘Guide for 

the Care and Use of Laboratory 

Animals’’ which can be obtained from 

National Academy Press, 2101 

Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, 

DC 20055. In addition, such proposals 

must meet the requirements of the 

Animal Welfare Act (7 U.S.C. 2131 et 

seq.), 9 CFR parts 1, 2, and 3, and if 

appropriate, 21 CFR part 58. These 

regulations do not apply to proposed 

research using pre-existing images of 

animals or to research plans that do not 

include live animals that are being cared 

for, euthanized, or used by the project 

participants to accomplish research 

goals, teaching, or testing. These 

regulations also do not apply to 

obtaining animal materials from 

commercial processors of animal 

products or to animal cell lines or 

tissues from tissue banks. 

Limitation of Liability: In no event 

will NIST or the Department of 

Commerce be responsible for proposal 

preparation costs if these programs fail 

to receive funding or are cancelled 

because of other agency priorities. 

Publication of this announcement does 

not oblige the agency to award any 

specific project or to obligate any 

available funds. Funding of any award 

under any program announced in this 

notice is subject to the availability of 

funds. 

Executive Order 12866: This funding 

notice was determined to be not 

significant for purposes of Executive 

Order 12866. 

Executive Order 13132 (Federalism): 

It has been determined that this notice 

does not contain policies with
