Presented by the Center for Emergent Materials (CEM), an NSF MRSEC, the Center for Exploration of Novel COMplex Materials (ENCOMM), and Institute for Materials Research (IMR):

Exploratory Materials Research Grant Showcase
Five Exploratory Materials Research Grants (EMRGs) were awarded in March of 2021 after a pause to the 2020 OSU Materials Research Seed Grants Program (MRSGP), due to the pandemic. We invite you to join this special showcase of current EMRGs, to:

• Learn how these projects/groups are enabling nascent and innovative materials research to emerge to the point of being competitive for external funding
• See examples of what the MRSGP looks for in EMRG project proposals
