| Abstract Scope |
As one of the US National Science Foundation's "Ten Big Ideas for Future Investment," Convergence of scientific disciplines has emerged as an exciting opportunity. This presentation will describe NSF's efforts in promoting and supporting Convergent Research, with an emphasis on programs related to Materials Science and Engineering. The types of boldly interdisciplinary collaborations in which Materials Scientists and Engineers are engaged will be described, and details will be provided of funding opportunities and upcoming activities designed to promote and support convergent collaborations in fundamental scientific research. |
