The Department of Defense announced a total of $269 million in awards for microelectronics manufacturing capacity and workforce development infrastructure. Under the CHIPS and Science Act, the funding will support 33 new technical projects under the Microelectronics Commons (ME Commons) initiative.
“We’re creating a new chapter in semiconductor research and development here in America,” said Director Arati Prabhakar of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. “These CHIPS and Science Act investments through the Microelectronics Commons will advance innovation for components that enable the most sophisticated defense systems, strengthening our national security. Today’s awards are the next step forward in making sure that we win the future.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Director Prabhakar to be led by God as she heads the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
