NSF Funding Opportunity - Materials Processing and Manufacturing

Novel processing methodologies or the processing of new materials can open up opportunities for new product development, for research leading to next-generation machines, for improvements in product performance and cost, and for minimizing the environmental impact through the complete life-cycle. The MPM Program advances the fundamental knowledge base that is needed for the realization of desired product attributes through the application of the systematic integration of processing-material-performance relationships. It supports analytical and experimental research that leads to the generation of such fundamental knowledge. MPM also supports research activities that incorporate connectivity of this materials processing knowledge to sensing systems for process control. Read more
