Federal Grant Award Summary The Johns Hopkins University received a $570,001 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation, awarded February 1, 2026, with completion targeted for January 31, 2029. The project, "Harnessing Self-Assembly for Integrating Structural Color in Additive Manufacturing," delivers fundamental and applied research aimed at establishing scientific principles for producing durable, tunable color directly during additive manufacturing processes through controlled microstructure formation. Rather than relying on chemical pigments and dyes, the research enables color to emerge from physical structure alone, reducing material waste and simplifying manufacturing systems. The project produces research outputs and deliverables spanning multiple dimensions: scientific and technical advances in directing microstructure formation during material extrusion and curing to achieve programmable structural color in additively manufactured materials; development of data-driven design methodologies at the intersection of manufacturing and materials science; and educational and workforce development activities that train students and researchers in functional materials and advanced manufacturing. The research supports national priorities in manufacturing efficiency, advanced materials innovation, and enabling new capabilities for applications including secure identification, sensing, energy-efficient displays, and adaptive surfaces, while outreach efforts broaden participation in emerging manufacturing technologies.
