The National Science Foundation Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure awarded Purdue University $120,500 on October 1, 2026, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to establish technical foundations for trustworthy agentic science in materials research. The project, titled "AGENTIC FAIR: Context, Skills, and Benchmarks for Trustworthy, Reproducible Materials Research," will develop three coupled technical elements to address fragmentation and inconsistency in AI-enabled materials workflows. First, the award funds machine-actionable context specifications that capture entities, provenance, life-cycle stages, governance constraints, and repository expectations required for reliable automated action on materials data and models. Second, the project will create a curated library of reusable agentic skills as bounded, testable modules following a formal contract structure for recurring FAIR and research-data-management operations, including metadata extraction, schema crosswalk, provenance capture, FAIR packaging, and quality assessment. Third, the award supports development of benchmark suites and scoring protocols that evaluate whether agentic systems can perform realistic materials-research tasks with reproducibility, robustness, and scientific fidelity. These advances aim to move agentic materials research from demonstrations toward a rigorous, testable, and cumulative research paradigm. Performance takes place in West Lafayette, Indiana, over the period October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029.
