Securing Semiconductor Supply Chains 2025 Research Grant

The institute announced a grant opportunity supporting Cornell students and faculty conducting research at the intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and public policy, inviting proposals from graduate students working on semiconductors and semiconductor supply chains.

Suggested topics included cybersecurity vulnerabilities in global supply chains, semiconductor design and innovation, supply chain insecurity and resilience, the regulatory and policy challenges of securing supply chains for critical technologies, and the geopolitics of semiconductor manufacturing and trade.

Awards ran to a maximum of $10,000. Applicants could apply as teams of two or three co-investigators, and teams could include members from outside Cornell provided the primary investigator remained at Cornell for the duration of the award.

Applications were assessed on novelty, feasibility, and relevance to semiconductor supply chain resilience and cybersecurity, reviewed by a team of faculty members and graduate research fellows. Successful applicants were required to submit a white paper for publication through the institute on completion.
