National Science Foundation: Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer our Future (DMREF)

February 4, 2025

Value

Up to CAN$100,000 per year for 4 years.

Description

The DMREF program offers a unique opportunity for Canadian academic researchers to team up with their US colleagues to build interdisciplinary teams of researchers working synergistically to build the fundamental knowledge base needed to advance the design and development of materials in pursuit of the following goals:

  • Unify the Materials Innovation Infrastructure (MII), a framework of integrating advanced modelling, computational and experimental tools, and quantitative data
  • Harness the power of materials data
  • Educate, train, and connect the materials research and development workforce

Eligible Applicants

Canadian university researchers in the natural sciences and engineering fields working with university collaborators from the United States on use-inspired research to foster the design, discovery, and development of materials to accelerate their path to deployment by harnessing the power of data and computational tools in concert with experiment and theory.

Eligible Expenses

DMREF will accordingly support activities that significantly accelerate the materials discovery-to-use timeline by building the fundamental knowledge base needed to advance the design, development, or manufacturability (i.e., properties relevant to manufacturing, process-property relationships, property performance metrics, potential pathways for scale-up, economic feasibility, supply chain considerations, or life cycle issues) of materials with desirable properties or functionality.
