Engineering (ENG): Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI)

The U.S. National Science Foundation Directorate for Engineering (NSF ENG) supports foundational research projects for civil, mechanical, and manufacturing innovation through various programs. These programs include the Advanced Manufacturing, Design, and Operations (AMDO) program, the Engineering for the Built Environment (EBE) program, the Intelligent and Interactive Dynamic Systems (IIDS) program, and the Mechanics of Advanced Materials Systems (MAMS) program. The NSF ENG anticipates a portfolio of awards with a range of budgets and durations. Key aspects of this opportunity include: • Support for foundational research on advanced manufacturing, materials, and service processes • Support for foundational research on civil infrastructure and civil infrastructure systems • Support for foundational research to advance the science and engineering of intelligent dynamic systems • Support for foundational research on deformation and failure in engineered and biological materials • Estimated program budget of $100,000,000 • Expected number of awards: 275 • Proposals accepted anytime
