Description:
Joint University Microelectronics Program 2.0 (JUMP 2.0) Research Announcement
Program Objectives and Description
JUMP 2.0, a consortium of industrial participants (the “Consortium”) in cooperation with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (“DARPA”), solicits white papers from U.S. universities for collaborative, multidisciplinary, multi-university research in selected areas of principal interest.
The goal of this collaborative effort between the Department of Defense and the industrial participants is to substantially increase the performance, efficiency, and capabilities of broad classes of electronics systems for both commercial and military applications. These research and development efforts should benefit both the defense and industrial sectors by providing the Department of Defense with an unmatched technological edge in advanced radar, communications, and weapons systems, and provide the U.S. economy with unique information technology and processing capabilities critical to commercial competitiveness and future economic growth.
To address existing and emerging challenges in information and communication technologies (ICT) and associated technologies, the Program will concentrate resources on long-range innovative research that is high risk and high reward. The most important focus areas are ICT challenges, as outlined in the 2030 Decadal Plan for Semiconductors, and accelerating innovation in applications, as outlined in DARPA’s Electronics Resurgence Initiative (ERI) 2.0. To this end, the JUMP 2.0 program is focused on exploratory research on an 8- to 12-year time horizon that is anticipated to lead to defense and commercial opportunities in the 2030–2035 timeframe.
As innovation is key to the success of JUMP 2.0, the Program seeks to foster diverse and inclusive research environments for the seven Centers that support our efforts to broaden participation. Our goal is to identify and support the best ideas, not simply the most prominent universities.
