NSF accepting Advanced

Manufacturing proposals

The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently

released the FY2019 Advanced Manufacturing

(AM) program announcement in support of

fundamental research needed to revitalize American

manufacturing and to grow the national prosperity

and workforce, thereby reshaping the country’s

strategic industries.

NSF said the AM program should accelerate

advances in manufacturing technologies, with

an emphasis on multidisciplinary research

that fundamentally alters and transforms

manufacturing capabilities, methods and practices.

Research proposals should address issues related

to national prosperity and security, and advancing

knowledge to sustain global leadership, said NSF.

According to the announcement, examples of

research areas include:

• manufacturing systems,

• materials processing,

• manufacturing machines,

• methodologies and

• manufacturing across the length scales.

NSF said researchers working in the areas

of cybermanufacturing systems, manufacturing

machines and equipment, materials engineering and

processing, and nanomanufacturing are encouraged

to transcend and cross domain boundaries.

Interdisciplinary, convergent proposals that bring

manufacturing to new application areas, and that

incorporate challenges and approaches outside

the customary manufacturing portfolio to broaden

the impact of America’s advanced manufacturing

research, are also welcome, NSF said.

Investigators are encouraged to read the Dear

Colleague Letter and the Frequently Asked

Questions page, and discuss their ideas with AM

program directors well in advance of submission at

AdvancedManufacturing@nsf.gov.

Proposals are accepted at any time.
