Call for IRG Proposals for MRSEC Renewal

The Center for Emergent Materials (CEM), an NSF MRSEC, is requesting proposals (see RFP) for Interdisciplinary Research Groups (IRGs) to participate in its proposal to renew its funding as a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC).  Interested teams are encouraged to read the 2019 NSF request for proposals and visit MRSEC.org to familiarize themselves with the range and characteristics of successful IRGs. 

CEM Poster Session to Present Interdisciplinary Research Group Proposals

On November 9, 2018 the CEM will sponsor a poster session from 3:00-5:00 PM in Room 4138 in the Physics Research Building . The session will offer prospective IRGs the opportunity to present their proposed science concepts and trans-disciplinary teams in advance of the proposal submission. Prospective IRG teams will also obtain feedback on their proposals and researchers will become familiar with putative teams and identify possible synergies.  Full event information can be found in the RFP, and the required templates are below.
