Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement - Ceramics - is cataloged under number PD-11-1774 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 47.049, posted by U.S. National Science Foundation. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on April 23, 2011 and last updated on January 13, 2014. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a grant.
Award economics. The award range on file is Varies by applicant. Cost sharing is not required, so applicants do not need to commit matching funds to be competitive on this opportunity. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.
Deadline and action path. This opportunity is closed. Monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements in the next funding cycle. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Review the Eligibility section below carefully, federal eligibility categories (nonprofit, state or local government, tribal, individual, educational institution, small business) have distinct registration and reporting requirements. Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed, it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities. Before acting on the deadline or award figures above, verify them directly on the official Grants.gov listing, amendments can change dates and amounts after this page was last refreshed.

Description
This program supports fundamental research including combined experiment and theory projects in ceramics (e.g., oxides, carbides, nitrides and borides), glasses, ceramic-based composites and inorganic carbon-based materials. The objective of the program is to increase fundamental understanding and to develop predictive capabilities for relating synthesis, processing, and microstructure of these materials to their properties and ultimate performance in various environments and applications. Development of new experimental techniques or novel approaches to carry out projects is encouraged. Topics supported include basic processes and mechanisms associated with nucleation and growth of thin films; bulk crystal growth; phase transformations and equilibria; morphology; surface modification; corrosion, interfaces and grain boundary structure; and defects. The microstructures investigated range from crystalline, polycrystalline, and amorphous to composite and nanostructured materials. PIs uncertain about whether or not their project is suitable for submission to the Ceramics Program may submit a draft of their NSF Project Summary by e-mail to the Program Director for comment.Four-year projects are encouraged in the Ceramics Program; projects of shorter durations are also welcome. Equipment or instrumentation necessary for the project (typically below $100,000) may be included as part of the budget. PIs are encouraged to include all anticipated broader impact activities (http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/gpg/broaderimpacts.pdf) in their initial proposals, rather than planning on supplemental requests. Most projects include: (1) anticipated significance on science, engineering and/or technology including possible benefits to society, (2) plans for the dissemination of results, and (3) broadening participation of underrepresented groups and/or excellence in one or more of these areas: training, mentoring and teaching. Many successful proposals will include one additional broader impact activity. PIs are encouraged to collaborate with individuals or groups with experience and expertise, as needed, to ensure efficacy. Submission of proposals early (e.g., at the beginning of the submission window) is recommended to allow time for correction of compliance issues.
