Opportunity
Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer our Future (DMREF)
Award Info:
Awards are expected to range from $1,200,000 - $1,8000,000 for a duration of four years. The budget must be commensurate with the scope of the project and thoroughly justified in the proposal.
Description:
DMREF will support activities that significantly accelerate materials discovery and development by building the fundamental knowledge base needed to advance the design and development of materials with desirable properties or functionality. This will be accomplished through forming interdisciplinary teams of researchers working synergistically in a "closed loop" fashion, building a vibrant research community, leveraging data science, providing ready access to materials data, and educating the future MGI workforce. Achieving this goal could involve some combination of:
strategies to advance materials design through testing methodology;
theory, modeling, and simulation to predict behavior or assist in analysis of multidimensional input data; and
validation through synthesis, growth, processing, characterization, and/or device demonstration.
