NSF Engineering Research in Emerging Areas of Advanced Manufacturing
Posted January 17, 2024
Discipline(s): Engineering
With this Dear Colleague Letter, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (ENG) encourages the submission of research and education proposals related to Advanced Manufacturing as an Emerging Industry.
Manufacturing is essential to almost every sector of the U.S. economy, spurring growth by increasing productivity, enabling new products, and opening new industries. The NSF and Engineering Directorate investment in advanced manufacturing will continue to grow our nation's workforce, enhance supply chain resilience, and create products and processes with higher performance, fewer resources, and/or new capabilities.
Research in emerging areas of Advanced Manufacturing will accelerate breakthroughs in manufacturing materials, technologies, and systems through fundamental, multidisciplinary research that transforms manufacturing capabilities, methods, and practices. NSF and Engineering Directorate investments will spur manufacturing breakthroughs in advanced energy- and resource-efficient industrial technologies, resilient manufacturing strategies, novel methods in engineering biology, next-generation materials, and the power of data science, automation, robotics, and machine learning to intelligently design and develop future approaches that are secure, sustainable, and resilient to natural and anthropogenic disasters.
Due Date: April 30, 2024 for consideration in FY2024.
Project length: Up to 5 years
