Description

The MME program supports fundamental research leading to improved manufacturing machines and equipment, and their application in manufacturing processes. Key goals of the program are to advance the transition of manufacturing from skill-based to knowledge-based activities, and to advance technologies that will enable the manufacturing sector to reduce its environmental and societal impacts. A focus is on the advancement of manufacturing machines and related systems engineering that will enable energy manufacturing on a large scale. The program also supports research on additive manufacturing machines and processes encompassing feature scales from microns to meters (nanometer scale additive manufacturing is supported under the Nanomanufacturing program).Investigators wishing to serve on a proposal review panel should email the Program Director with a short biographical sketch, a list of areas of expertise and a link to their home page. REU/RET supplement requests should be submitted by March 31 each year.

Catch-all / unrestricted eligibility mark · PD-12-1468

Grants.gov marks Manufacturing Machines and Equipment with a catch-all / unrestricted eligibility code (Unrestricted / see official listing).
