Description:

The DMREF program offers a unique opportunity for Canadian academic researchers to team up with their US colleagues to build interdisciplinary teams of researchers working synergistically to build the fundamental knowledge base needed to advance the design and development of materials in pursuit of the following goals:

• Unify the Materials Innovation Infrastructure (MII), a framework of integrating advanced modelling, computational and experimental tools, and quantitative data
• Harness the power of materials data
• Educate, train, and connect the materials research and development workforce

Eligibility:

To be a Canadian applicant or co-applicant on a DMREF proposal, you must be working in a research area supported by NSERC. As an applicant to this initiative, you must collaborate with at least two US-based researchers who meet the NSF eligibility requirements; the US researcher will be the PI on the NSF DMREF proposal.

Each Canadian team should submit only one application to NSERC for their participation in a DMREF proposal. You may participate as an applicant on only one DMREF proposal, but you may be a co-applicant or collaborator on multiple proposals. Other researchers and organizations (e.g., from the public, private and/or not-for-profit sectors) can participate as collaborators.
