Phase II $750,000 (Prototype- 1 to 2 Years)

Phase I Due Date: June 13, 2019

Advanced Materials:

The Advanced Materials topic addresses the development of new and improved materials for a wide variety of commercial and industrial applications. Proposals may focus on the creation of innovative material systems and/or on critical fabrication, processing, or manufacturing challenges involved in the successful commercialization of materials. A wide variety of applications areas will be considered as part of this topic.

Subtopics:

• Coatings and Surface Modifications

• Materials for Sustainability

• Metals and Ceramics

• Multiferroics and Specialized Functional Materials

• Structural and Infrastructural Materials

• Other Advanced Materials Technologies

And many, many more topics.
