Description
The U.S. National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (NSF MPS) supports multiple materials research programs that advance fundamental understanding of materials, their properties, and their potential applications.
The programs covered by this solicitation are:
- Biomaterials
- Ceramics
- Condensed Matter and Materials Theory
- Condensed Matter Physics
- Electronic and Photonic Materials
- Metals and Metallic Nanostructures
- Polymers
- Solid State and Materials Chemistry
Other materials research funding opportunities are covered by separate NSF solicitations, such as the NSF Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers and Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer our Future.
NSF MPS is particularly interested in intellectually ambitious and potentially transformative foundational research. Proposals need not promise a near-term product, deployment, or commercial outcome, nor need they address later-stage development to be competitive.
