Opportunity Information: Apply for 26 500

The Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers (MRSECs) program supports high-quality, long-term materials research and education at U.S. institutions. Aimed at tackling fundamental challenges in science and engineering, MRSECs foster interdisciplinary collaboration that is best achieved through a center-based approach. Centers may be based at a single university or involve partnerships between multiple institutions, and typically include two to three interdisciplinary research groups focused on key topics in materials science.

The program also strengthens the national research infrastructure, encourages partnerships with industry and international organizations, and helps build a broad network of university-based materials research centers across the country.

Only accredited U.S. institutions of higher education—both two- and four-year colleges—are eligible to apply. If a proposal includes work at an international branch campus, applicants must clearly justify the necessity and value of conducting that part of the research abroad.
