[345872] Electronics, Photonics and Magnetic Devices

  • Source: grants.gov
  • Agency: National Science Foundation
  • Posted: 02/08/2023 · Deadline: —
  • URL: https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/345872
  • Relevance: 7/10 · FFRDC: yes · Cost share: not_required · Foreign entity: unclear
  • Lexical hits: photovoltaic, thermoelectric (score 6.0)
  • Themes: Wide/Extreme- and Narrow-Bandgap Semiconductor Devices, Thermoelectric and Ferroelectric Devices, Photovoltaic and Energy Harvesting Devices, Microwave/mm-Wave/THz Devices
  • Fit: The EPMD program aligns well with Section 345's focus on advanced power electronics, photovoltaics, and radiation-hardened device research. While the program is broad and includes non-space applications, the fundamental research into wide-bandgap semiconductors and energy harvesting is highly relevant to next-generation spacecraft power systems.
  • Eligibility quote: > Applicant types: Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above), subject to any clarification in text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility"

[4a4253cc4fd94a59baef368e523d2fc6] AFWERX PRIME INNOVATIVE CAPABILITIES OPENING

  • Agency: DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE.AIR FORCE MATERIEL COMMAND.AIR FORCE RESEARCH LABORATORY.FA2280 AFRL/RGKA
  • Posted: 2026-04-17 · Deadline: 2026-04-20T23:59:00-04:00
  • URL: https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/4a4253cc4fd94a59baef368e523d2fc6/view
  • Relevance: 8/10 · FFRDC: yes · Cost share: unclear · Foreign entity: unclear
  • Lexical hits: NAICS:541715, PSC:AC32 (score 4.0)
  • Themes: Spacecraft power system architecture, Power electronics, Avionics hardware, Radiation-hard and high-reliability space electronics
  • Fit: The AFWERX Prime Innovative Capabilities Opening covers a broad range of dual-use technologies, including space-related power and electronics. Given the focus on innovative capabilities for the Air Force, this is a strong potential vehicle for JPL's advanced power electronics and space-hardened systems.
  • Eligibility quote: > All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) are eligible to participate as prime contractors or as members of a team.

[332ca962b1964b2fad6eab01dcd68a5c] MINSAV CALL 05 "TALOS"

  • Source: sam.gov
  • Agency: DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE.AIR FORCE MATERIEL COMMAND.AIR FORCE RESEARCH LABORATORY.FA2377 USAF AFMC AFRL PZL AFRL RYKS
  • Posted: 2026-04-15 · Deadline: 2026-06-01T17:00:00-04:00
  • URL: https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/332ca962b1964b2fad6eab01dcd68a5c/view
  • Relevance: 8/10 · FFRDC: yes · Cost share: unclear · Foreign entity: restricted
  • Lexical hits: NAICS:541715, PSC:AC32 (score 4.0)
  • Themes: Power electronics, Radiation-hard and high-reliability space electronics, Avionics hardware
  • Fit: The TALOS call focuses on advanced electronics and power systems for space-based applications, which aligns directly with JPL's expertise in radiation-hardened electronics and power management. As an AFRL BAA, this is a high-relevance opportunity for JPL to provide specialized technical expertise in space-flight hardware.
  • Eligibility quote: > FFRDCs are eligible to propose as prime contractors or as members of a team. FFRDCs must provide a letter of support from their sponsoring agency.
