Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers (MRSEC)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
The Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers (MRSECs) program provides sustained support of materials research and education of the highest quality while addressing fundamental problems in science and engineering. Each MRSEC addresses research of a scope and complexity requiring the scale, synergy, and multidisciplinarity provided by a campus-based research center. The MRSECs support materials research infrastructure in the United States, promote active collaboration between universities and other sectors, including industry and international organizations, and contribute to the development of a national network of university-based centers in materials research, education, and facilities. A MRSEC may be located at a single institution, or may involve multiple institutions in partnership, and is composed of two to three Interdisciplinary Research Groups, IRGs, each addressing a fundamental materials science topic aligned with the Division of Materials Research, DMR.

Submission Limits
Limit on Number of Proposals per Organization: 1
Only one MRSEC preliminary proposal may be submitted by any one organization as the lead institution in this competition. An institution proposing research in several groups should submit a single MRSEC proposal with multiple Interdisciplinary Research Groups (IRGs). A MRSEC proposal must contain a minimum of 2 IRGs and a maximum of 3 IRGs. The IRGs in a Center may be thematically related, or they may address different aspects of materials science typically supported by DMR. A single Center at an organization allows efficient usage of resources, including common infrastructure, and better coordination of education and other activities of the Center.
Institutions that were awarded a MRSEC in the FY 2020 competition as the lead institution are not eligible to submit a MRSEC proposal as a lead institution in this competition.
MRSEC full proposals may be submitted by invitation only.
Cost Sharing:
Inclusion of voluntary committed cost sharing is prohibited.

TOPICAL COLLABORATIONS IN NUCLEAR THEORY
Agencies
Department of Energy (DOE)
Description
The NP mission is to discover, explore, and understand all forms of nuclear matter. NP supports
experimental and theoretical research and the development and operation of accelerator facilities
and advanced technologies.
The Nuclear Theory subprogram supports theoretical research at universities and DOE National
Laboratories with the goal of improving our fundamental understanding of nuclear physics,
interpreting the results of experiments carried out in part under the auspices of the experimental
2
nuclear physics program, and identifying and exploring important new areas of research. This
subprogram addresses the field’s scientific frontiers, as described in the NSAC 2015 Long Range
Plan.
As demonstrated by the Topical Collaborations established since 2010, many of the theoretical
aspects of nuclear physics benefit from additional long-term sustained efforts beyond the base
program that bring together the resources of several institutions in a coordinated way to address a
well-defined problem or topical area.
All applications submitted to this FOA must be in support of multi-institutional teams. Awards
under this FOA will bring together, on a temporary basis, research groups of leading nuclear
theorists, leveraging the resources of small research groups, and providing expanded
opportunities for the next generation of nuclear theorists. Each team will function as a hub of a
network of scientists from the participating institutions, supporting sustained interaction and
communication within the network, and providing a mechanism for placing new researchers in
permanent positions in nuclear theory. In addition, applications submitted to this FOA must be
responsive to at least one of the topics listed below:
a. Hadron spectra from Quantum Chromodynamics, including exotics
b. Photo- and electro-production of meson and baryon resonances, including exotics
c. Phenomenology for semi-inclusive/exclusive electron scattering
d. Partonic and spin structure of hadrons
e. Properties of hot/dense strongly-interacting nuclear matter
f. Phenomenology of relativistic nuclear collisions
g. Nucleon interactions and properties of nuclei
h. Unified description of nuclear reactions
i. Dynamics of fusion/fission
j. Nuclear reactions in cataclysmic astrophysical events
k. Neutrino-nucleus interactions
l. Tests of the Standard Model using nuclei

Facilitator of Polar STEAM (Polar STEAM)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
NSF’s Office of Polar Programs (OPP) and the Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR) seek proposals for a Facilitator to manage a Polar Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (Polar STEAM) initiative. The successful proposal for the Facilitator of Polar STEAM will be administered as a Cooperative Agreement (CA) over a five-year period of performance, with the option for a renewal for up to five years pending review.
Polar STEAM is a new initiative, which encompasses and enriches two longstanding efforts:
an Antarctic Artists and Writers (AAW) program to support writing and artistic projects specifically designed to increase the public’s understanding and appreciation of the Antarctic and the human endeavors on the southernmost continent; and
support for educators, both formal and informal, to travel to the Antarctic and Arctic to work collaboratively with researchers (hereafter, the Polar Educators program).
These efforts have for decades provided a unique professional development opportunity that benefited not only the individual artists, writers, and educators but also the diverse communities they served. Both programs provided unique avenues for NSF-funded researchers to enhance the Broader Impact of their work. Incorporating Art into STEM learning experiences (commonly referred to as STEAM, e.g., Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) allows students of all ages to access science concepts from different vantage points, promotes creative thinking, speaks to a broader swath of learners, and enhances engagement and understanding. Polar STEAM will promote diversity, equity and inclusion in polar science programs and allow for participation by a broader range of educators.
The Facilitator of Polar STEAM will be responsible for managing the AAW and Polar Educator program(s) as parallel but synergistic programs that promote connections and innovative partnerships between their participants. To accomplish this, the Facilitator will need to demonstrate the ability to work with the two programs’ diverse stakeholders and audiences.
The creation of a Cooperative Agreement (CA) for a new Facilitator for Polar STEAM will 1) resume the AAW program; 2) expand the reach of the educators’ program to include faculty from community colleges and Minority Serving Institutions; 3) help integrate both programs with the work of the OPP and EHR programs; 4) foster collaboration and coordination between the participants, i.e., artists, writers, educators and researchers; and 5) broaden the public impact of Polar STEAM.
In response to this solicitation, NSF seeks proposals from a broad representation of PIs and institutions, including a geographically diverse set of institutions (including those in EPSCoR jurisdictions) and PIs who are women, early-career researchers, members of underrepresented groups, veterans, and persons with disabilities.

Submission Limits
One award for Facilitator Support Office. Amount is anticipated to be up to $700,000/year for each year of 5-year performance period. Additional, specific costs during the performance period will be considered based on essential, supplemental efforts identified in approved Annual Work Plans.
