Statement of Task

This committee will evaluate the goals, progress, and scientific accomplishments of the Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer Our Future (DMREF) program within the context of similar efforts both within the United States and abroad. High-level, strategic recommendations will be provided for aligning DMREF to take full advantage of existing and future opportunities for accelerating the progression of materials research. Specific key issues to be addressed by the committee include the effectiveness of DMREF in

  • Incorporating into its efforts the full scope and breadth of materials research and engaging with the greater scientific and engineering community;
  • Accessing resources in relevant parts of the National Science Foundation and in coordinating with other federal agencies that participate in the Materials Genome Initiative;
  • Responding to new opportunities in data-related sciences, including the application of artificial intelligence;
  • Accelerating the progression of fundamental materials research toward eventual deployment and manufacturing; and
  • Attracting and developing an innovative and diverse talent pool.
