This grant from the EPA aims to establish an interdisciplinary center focusing on materials development with a life cycle perspective. Applicants will work towards creating methodologies for materials design that consider environmental and human health impacts throughout the entire life cycle. The ultimate goal is to produce materials that minimize or eliminate any negative effects on the environment and human health. The deadline for applications is April 9, 2012.

| Description:: | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications for an interdisciplinary center focused on the application of a life cycle perspective towards the development of materials. The aim of the center will be to develop methodologies and practices for materials design which applies a holistic perspective. This holistic approach to design, which considers all the stages of a materials life cycle, provides an opportunity to produce materials which minimize, and preferably eliminate, any associated potential environmental and human health impacts that may occur during the life cycle. |
