10 Key Technology Areas

In 2022, Congress passed the "CHIPS and Science Act," authorizing the establishment of the TIP directorate and charging it with the critical mission of advancing U.S. competitiveness through investments that accelerate the development of key technologies and address pressing societal and economic challenges. The 2022 "CHIPS and Science Act" further authorized historic investments in curiosity-driven, exploratory research and use-inspired, translational research. These investments will advance the most innovative ideas across all areas of science and engineering, accelerating their translation to solutions for today's challenges and tomorrow's — all at speed and scale.

The Act establishes 10 key technology areas critical to the nation's economic and national security. Click on an icon to see investments within each area:
