The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is offering this grant to establish a Lightweight and Modern Metals Manufacturing Innovation (LM3I) Institute. This grant aims to advance processing and fabrication technologies for lightweight and modern metals, bridging basic research to full-scale production (MRL 4-7). The goal is to integrate new material, component, and system designs for defense and commercial applications. Proposals should detail the Institute’s infrastructure, technical applications, and a sustainable business plan. Submissions must include example research project focus areas and technology transition plans supporting DoD and high-value governmental and commercial uses.
