PROGRAM GUIDELINES

Solicitation  07-563

SYNOPSIS

Supports interdisciplinary materials research and education while addressing fundamental problems in science and engineering.  MRSECs require outstanding research quality and intellectual breadth, provide support for research infrastructure and flexibility in responding to new opportunities, and strongly emphasize the integration of research and education.  These centers foster active collaboration between universities and other sectors, including industry, and they constitute a national network of university-based centers in materials research.  MRSECs address problems of a scope or complexity requiring the advantages of scale and interdisciplinary interaction provided by a center.  A MRSEC may be located at a single institution, or may involve two or more institutions in partnership.
