This grant is for establishing and supporting Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers (MRSECs) nationwide. Its purpose is to provide sustained support for high-quality, interdisciplinary materials research and education, tackling fundamental challenges in science and engineering. MRSECs are designed for complex research requiring extensive collaboration and synergy, typically housed in campus-based centers. The program aims to bolster the materials research infrastructure in the U.S., foster partnerships between academia, industry, and international bodies, and expand a national network of university-based materials research centers, facilities, and educational initiatives. Centers may be single- or multi-institutional.

| Description: | Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers (MRSECs) provide sustained support of interdisciplinary materials research and education of the highest quality while addressing fundamental problems in science and engineering. MRSECs address research of a scope and complexity requiring the scale, synergy, and interdisciplinarity provided by a campus-based research center. They support materials research infrastructure in the United States, promote active collaboration between universities and other sectors, including industry and international institutions, and contribute to the development of a national network of university-based centers in materials research, education, and facilities. A MRSEC may be located at a single institution, or may involve multiple institutions in partnership. |
