This grant program, offered by the Materials Research Department, aims to support cutting-edge interdisciplinary materials research and education through two mechanisms: Centers of Excellence for Materials Research and Innovation (CEMRIs) and Materials Interdisciplinary Research Teams (MIRTs). CEMRIs provide sustained funding for large-scale, campus-based centers addressing fundamental science and engineering problems, strengthening US materials infrastructure, and fostering collaborations. MIRTs, a new award, focus on specific major materials research challenges through interdisciplinary teams, also supporting necessary experimental and computational instrumentation. Both mechanisms emphasize integrating research with education and can be established at single or multiple institutions, contributing to a national network of advanced materials research.

Description: | Centers of Excellence for Materials Research and Innovation (CEMRIs) provide sustained support of interdisciplinary materials research and education of the highest quality while addressing fundamental problems in science and engineering. CEMRIs address research of a scope and complexity requiring the advantages of scale 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 CEMRI may be located at a single institution, or may involve multiple institutions in partnership.Materials Interdisciplinary Research Teams (MIRTs) represent a new award mechanism. These teams share with CEMRIs the same emphasis on the support of world class interdisciplinary materials research and the integration of research with education. Each MIRT addresses a major materials research problem requiring an interdisciplinary team of researchers. In addition, experimental and computational instrumentation needed for the proposed research activities is also supported. A MIRT may be located at a single institution, or may involve multiple institutions. |
