NSF Announces Sustainable Materials Funding Opportunity |
Posted on: 7/9/2012 12:00:00 AM... The Division of Materials Research (DMR) of the U.S. National Science Foundation announced a new funding opportunity focused on sustainable materials in a Dear Colleague letter dated July 9.
“Sustainable Materials” is DMR’s effort in Sustainable Chemistry, Engineering, and Materials (SusChEM), a cross-directorate initiative aimed at enabling basic science and engineering discoveries that will reduce dependence on non-renewable resources and improve the efficiency of industrial processes.
Research projects that target the discovery of new materials or make materials more sustainable through improved synthesis, enhanced applications, and/or advances in lifecycle management are encouraged. Of particular interest are broader impacts that advance the field beyond traditional paradigms of materials optimization, and include educational and outreach activities aimed at broadening exposure, increasing awareness, and improving knowledge in the area of sustainability. Suggested research topics include:
- Materials for the Preservation and Extension of Natural Resources
- Material Replacement for a Safer and More Secure Future
- Improved Materials During Operating Conditions
- Materials Designed for Zero Waste
Proposals in Sustainable Materials should be submitted within the open window (September 1 - October 31, 2012) to a topical research program within DMR (Biomaterials, Ceramics, Condensed Matter and Materials Theory, Condensed Matter Physics, Electronic and Photonic Materials, Metals and Metallic Nanostructures, Polymers, or Solid-State and Materials Chemistry). While proposals submitted to DMR must be primarily focused on fundamental materials research, collaborations with other disciplines (Chemistry; Engineering; Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences; etc.) are welcome.
