Opportunity Kick-off: 2021 NSF Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers (MRSECs)
The Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers (MRSECs) program provides sustained support of materials research and education of the highest quality while addressing fundamental problems in science and engineering. Each MRSEC addresses research of a scope and complexity requiring the scale, synergy, and multidisciplinarity provided by a campus-based research center. The MRSECs support materials research infrastructure in the United States, promote active collaboration between universities and other sectors, including industry and international organizations, 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, and is composed of two to three Interdisciplinary Research Groups, IRGs, each addressing a fundamental materials science topic aligned with the Division of Materials Research, DMR. To review this program, please visit: https://mrsec.org/.
ASU is limited to submission of one proposal. Limited Submissions will be requesting and reviewing individual Interdisciplinary Research Group (IRG) concepts or suites of IRGs. The internal deadline for submission is November 15, 2021.
