About this opportunity
This Federal Grant Opportunity is for the National Science Foundation's Division of Materials Research (DMR) Topical Materials Research Programs, which fund research and educational projects in the areas of Biomaterials (BMAT), Condensed Matter Physics (CMP), Metals and Metallic Nanostructures (MMN), and Polymers (POL). The research supported aims to advance fundamental understanding of materials, enable discovery of new materials and phenomena, and develop novel design and synthesis strategies. Applicants can be individual investigators or small research teams, and eligibility rules apply. The evaluation criteria will focus on the scientific and technical merit, broader impacts, and feasibility of the proposed research.
The available funding is not specified, but typical awards under the broader Mathematical and Physical Sciences program range from $110,000 to $605,057, with project durations commonly spanning 2-5 years. The awards are expected to support a variety of research institutions across the United States, with a focus on advancing scientific knowledge, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, and developing the next generation of materials researchers.
Synopsis
Research supported by the Division of Materials Research (DMR) focuses on advancing fundamental understanding of materials, materials discovery, design, synthesis, characterization, properties, and materials-related phenomena. DMR awards enable understanding of the electronic, atomic, and molecular structures, mechanisms, and processes that govern nanoscale to macroscale morphology and properties; manipulation and control of these properties; discovery of emerging phenomena of matter and materials; and creation of novel design, synthesis, and processing strategies that lead to new materials with unique characteristics. These discoveries and advancements transcend traditional scientific and engineering disciplines. The Division supports research and education activities in the United States through funding of individual investigators, teams, centers, facilities, and instrumentation. Projects supported by DMR are essential for the development of future technologies and industries that meet societal needs, as well preparation of the next generation of materials researchers. This solicitation applies to the following six DMR Topical Materials Research Programs that fund research and educational projects by individual investigators or small groups: Biomaterials (BMAT), Condensed Matter Physics (CMP), Electronic and Photonic Materials (EPM), Metals and Metallic Nanostructures (MMN), Polymers (POL), and Solid-State and Materials Chemistry (SSMC). It does not apply to the following two DMR Topical Materials Research Programs, which have their own solicitations: Ceramics (CER) (NSF 16-597) and Condensed Matter and Materials Theory (CMMT) (NSF 16-596). Additional Information Eligibility rules apply for submissions; please see Section II. Program Description, Section IV. Eligibility Information, and Section V.A. Proposal Preparation Instructions.
