The **Future Manufacturing** grant program aims to support cutting-edge research, education, and workforce development to create **new** manufacturing capabilities that do not yet exist. This initiative seeks to address barriers in science, technology, education, economics, and society to catalyze next-generation industries. Unlike traditional advanced manufacturing programs that refine existing methods, this effort focuses on **transformational** breakthroughs.
Key goals include: - Enhancing U.S. leadership in manufacturing by fostering innovation. - Expanding job opportunities within a diverse STEM workforce. - Improving health, quality of life, and national security. - Reducing the environmental impact of manufacturing. - Addressing major societal challenges like climate change, health disparities, and infrastructure gaps.
**Research Focus Areas:** 1. **Future Cyber Manufacturing** – Leveraging computation, AI, and robotics for advanced manufacturing. 2. **Future Eco Manufacturing** – Promoting sustainability through materials science, decarbonization, and recycling. 3. **Future Biomanufacturing** – Advancing biotech processes for applications in health, energy, and agriculture.
The program offers two funding tracks: - **Future Manufacturing Research Grants (FMRG):** Up to **$3 million** over **four years** for transformative research. - **Future Manufacturing Seed Grants (FMSG):** Up to **$500,000** over **two years** for early-stage exploratory work.
Proposals must take a **convergence approach**, meaning interdisciplinary collaboration among engineers, scientists, social researchers, and others. Strong preference is given to teams from **minority-serving institutions, community colleges, and underrepresented groups**.
Additionally, applicants must outline a plan to **equip students and upskill the workforce**, ensuring that new manufacturing technologies can be successfully integrated into industry. There is also an optional research component focusing on how emerging innovations will impact the workforce.
**Eligibility:** - U.S.-based **for-profit organizations** (e.g., tech companies, startups). - **Non-profits** engaged in research/education. - **State & local governments** and educational entities. - **Tribal nations**. - **Institutions of Higher Education** (two- and four-year colleges, including community colleges).
Informational webinars will be held on **February 2, 2024, and November 15, 2024**, with full details available at [NSF’s website](https://new.nsf.gov/funding/opportunities/future-manufacturing-fm).
This grant aims to shape an entirely **new era of manufacturing**, with significant innovation potential across multiple fields. Proposals should focus on **breakthroughs rather than incremental improvements** to existing technologies.Apply for 24 525
