NNME Regional Node Announcement Now Expected Spring 2026

The response to the NNME Regional Node opportunity has been nothing short of inspiring. Institutions and partners from across the country stepped forward with bold ideas and a shared commitment to strengthening the nation’s microelectronics talent ecosystem.

The selection process is actively underway in coordination with the National Science Foundation, including oral presentations and final joint review. While we initially anticipated a March announcement, the timeline has shifted slightly to allow for a thorough and thoughtful selection process. We now expect to announce the selected Regional Nodes later this Spring.

We’re excited about the momentum behind NNME and the strong foundation being built for a truly national network. Thank you for your continued engagement, more soon!
