NSF 24-525: Future Manufacturing (FM)
Posted October 24, 2024
Disciplines: All
Future Manufacturing is a cross-directorate program supported by NSF's Directorates for Engineering (ENG), Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (TIP), Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS), STEM Education (EDU), Biological Sciences (BIO), Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE), Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE), the Office of Integrative Activities (OIA), and the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE).
Future Manufacturing supports fundamental research and education that will enable new manufacturing approaches to eliminate scientific technological, educational, economic, and social barriers that limit current manufacturing. Proposals should provide examples of how the research results could lead to transformational manufacturing advances that address significant problems. The research may be use-inspired, strongly motivated by the need to create knowledge or knowhow to help develop practical solutions to address societal challenges. Proposals should provide a vision statement describing the new manufacturing capabilities that could be enabled by the proposed research, and the potential industrial, economic, environmental and societal benefits. They should also describe the implications of the proposed activities on the education of a diverse and skilled technical workforce.
Full proposals due January 13th, 2025
