Examples of testing methods R&D include energy and spectrum efficiency indicators, enhanced test criteria, new cybersecurity testing methods, and virtualized testing environments. These projects will address gaps not currently met by industry-accepted tests and best practices, focusing on performance indicators, test criteria, cybersecurity testing, and innovative solutions. Specific Research Focus Area 2: Testing Methods R&D NTIA will fund projects that develop new and enhanced testing methods for open and interoperable, standards-based 5G radio access networks. NTIA is looking for proposals to expand industry-accepted T&E, making it more accessible and affordable to lower barriers of entry for new entities. Applicants can apply for grants for one or both focus areas. Testing Methods R&D projects will focus on addressing gaps not currently met by industry-accepted tests. T&E Activities will use existing industry-accepted tests and best practices to test and evaluate interoperability, performance, and security of open 5G radio access networks. This funding opportunity covers two specific research focus areas that applicants can apply for:
