Supports research using the unique microgravity environment of the International Space Station to improve understanding and innovation in transport phenomena, nanoscale interactions and related manufacturing processes for benefiting life on Earth.
Supports the research in mathematical and physical sciences of pre-tenure faculty at institutions with historically lower levels of NSF funding and their efforts to prepare students for 21st century STEM workforce.
Supports mid-scale infrastructure to advance materials discovery and development through integrated materials synthesis, characterization and modeling while promoting collaboration, knowledge sharing and access to state-of-the-art tools.
Supports interdisciplinary centers that advance materials research, foster collaboration, promote education and participation in STEM and strengthen the U.S. research infrastructure through shared facilities and outreach initiatives.
Supports postdoctoral fellows performing impactful research in MPS fields while broadening the participation of groups that are underrepresented in the mathematical and physical sciences.
Supports efforts to improve the adoption of cyberinfrastructure resources by the research community and integrate core literacy, skills in advanced cyberinfrastructure, and computational and data-driven methods into undergraduate and graduate education.
Supports research and education on organic, inorganic and hybrid materials, with an emphasis on materials synthesis and the relationships between material structure and properties.
Invites proposals focused on improving the efficiency with which resources are used to produce chemical products and materials, while reducing the use of hazardous substances and the generation of waste.
The Cyberinfrastructure for Sustained Scientific Innovation (CSSI) program seeks to enable funding opportunities that are flexible and responsive to the evolving and emerging needs in cyberinfrastructure (CI). The program continues to emphasize integrated CI services, quantitative metrics with targets for...
Encourages supplemental funding requests by awardees of NSF’s Division of Materials Research to collaborate with researchers supported by the National Cancer Institute on investigations of cancer as a living material.
Inviting requests which foster interest in the pursuit of studies in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences; and broaden participation of high school students who are in groups that have been traditionally underrepresented and under-served in STEM fields.
Supports research and education in the development of advanced materials to enable transformative advances in electronics, optoelectronics and photonics for use in computing, communications and sensing.
Supports projects that deepen the integration of cyberinfrastructure professionals’ services into research, while fostering education, training and recognition that address CI workforce development needs.
Invites requests to fund workshops on the fundamental drivers of active matter biomaterials that may advance understanding of abiotic-biotic interfaces and be developed into next-generation biomedical technologies.
The Division of Materials Research (DMR) Partnerships for Research and Education in Materials Research (PREM) program aims to enable, build, and grow partnerships between minority-serving institutions and DMR-supported centers and/or facilities to increase recruitment, retention, and degree attainment (which collectively...
