The Design of Engineering Material Systems (DEMS) program from the National Science Foundation (NSF) supports fundamental research to develop new paradigms for the design, development, and integration of advanced engineering material systems. The program seeks proposals that creatively integrate theory, processing/manufacturing, data/informatics, experimental, and/or computational approaches with rigorous engineering design principles. Key objectives include enabling the accelerated design and development of materials, as well as methodologies to discover materials systems with new properties and enable their rapid insertion into engineering systems. Proposals that focus solely on modeling, simulation, and prediction of material performance without an emphasis on design are not appropriate. The deadline for this opportunity is not provided.

Awards under the NSF's Engineering program, which this opportunity falls under, typically range from $250,000 to $650,000 with project periods of 3-5 years. The program funds projects that advance scientific knowledge, develop innovative technologies, and address national challenges across a wide range of engineering disciplines. Prominent research universities are frequently awarded grants under this program.
