Materials
Education Awards
DMR supports innovative experiments in materials-related education,
which may include themes such as inquiry-based learning, integration
of research and education, and early exposure to the workplace.
Innovative education efforts in emerging interdisciplinary areas,
including but not limited to the interface between the materials
and biological sciences, materials design and simulation, computational
materials, and complex materials are also supported. Proposals
may address innovation in materials education at the graduate or
undergraduate level, including (for example) curriculum development,
teaching methods, and the integration of research and teaching.
Proposals with an international component are also welcome. This
is not a new program, and there is no specific announcement or
call for proposals. Proposals with an emphasis on materials education
are handled by existing programs in the Division, and are reviewed
and co-reviewed among DMR and other NSF programs where appropriate,
recognizing the collaborative, interdisciplinary aspects of such
proposals. Proposals may be handled by disciplinary programs in
DMR or by the Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers
program.
Proposals should be submitted on or about the DMR target date
of November 1. For information about how to submit a proposal,
see the NSF Grant Proposal Guide (GPG, NSF
04-23).
