The National Science Foundation (NSF) today announced awards for three Materials Interdisciplinary Research Teams (MIRT) and nine Centers of Excellence in Materials Research and Innovation, also known as Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers (MRSEC). The awards resulted from the 2011 Materials Research Centers and Teams competition (solicitation NSF 10-568).
Centers
of Excellence for Materials Research and Innovation (CEMRIs) provide
sustained support of interdisciplinary materials research and education
of the highest quality while addressing fundamental problems in science
and engineering. CEMRIs address research of a scope and complexity
requiring the advantages of scale and interdisciplinarity provided by a
campus-based research center.
