A -- MIG/DARPA PI Training Module

DARPA plans to issue a purchase order to the MEMS Industry Group (MIG) to conduct research focused on organizing a workshop and developing an online application process. The workshop will address challenges related to scaling up, manufacturability, and commercialization of MEMS technology, while the online application will facilitate student travel funding to engage the expanding MEMS research community. MIG’s extensive industry knowledge and connections within the MEMS sector position it as the ideal entity to carry out these tasks effectively. The contract, valued at under $100,000, will span a period of five months from the date of issuance. This notice serves only as a heads-up and is not a formal solicitation or request for proposals. The work falls under NAICS code 541690 and is managed by DARPA’s Microsystems Technology Office, with John D. Evans as the point of contact. The tasks are expected to be carried out in alignment with DARPA's strategic goals of advancing MEMS technology and expanding scholarly engagement.
