- The goal of the research outcome/impacts from this competition is to
provide manufacturers and end users improved access to adequate
quantities of materials based on new advances at competitive costs that
allow evaluation and utilization of these materials in innovative ways,
and new manufacturing processes that can transform the way products are
made. TIP anticipates funding approximately 25 projects. A single
company can receive up to a total of $3 million with a project period
of performance of up to 3 years. A joint venture can receive up to a
total of $9 million with a project period of performance of up to 5
years. TIP’s funding strategy for this competition will emphasize three
important elements:
- Process scale-up, integration and design for materials advances;
- Predictive modeling for materials advances and materials processing; and
- Critical process advances related to the manufacturability of materials and manufacturing of both new and existing products.
These three elements of the societal challenge of accelerating the
use of materials advances and advances in critical processes will be
addressed as outlined in the white paper “Manufacturing and
Biomanufacturing: Materials Advances and Critical Processes”
(http://www.nist.gov/tip/cur_comp/index.cfm).
