In 2019, the Department of State fulfilled a 2017 Presidential Executive Order and identified 35 "critical minerals" that are vital to the U.S. economy and national security. The newer 2022 list includes 50 critical minerals and the U.S. remains import reliant for most of these commodities. Removing materials from the critical minerals list requires a multi-disciplinary approach that encompasses mineral exploration, material flow analysis, sustainability, mining methods, public policy, mineral economics, extractive metallurgy, and production process. To provide a platform for stakeholders from academia, the private sector, and government agencies that represent these disciplines, Missouri S&T University will convene an in-person workshop on “Resilient Supply of Critical Minerals’ on the university's campus in Rolla, MO, on August 9-10, 2023. Themed topical sessions will discuss the resilient supply of critical minerals from cross-disciplinary, convergent perspectives, including mineral exploration and source diversification, mineral processing and recycling, policy making, and resource sustainability. National leaders in their respective fields will give keynote presentations, followed by TED-style talks, panel discussions, and breakout sessions. The breakout sessions will be structured for interdisciplinary engagement, to provide a convergent perspective that includes economic, technical, social, and policy aspects. Research road maps will examine and evaluate the concept of criticality and recognize the cross-disciplinary nature of techniques required to enhance supply resilience. The workshop findings will be summarized and disseminated in a workshop report. The in-person format of this workshop will help to develop and nurture personal relationships between participants from academia, government agencies, and the private sector – thereby facilitating multi-disciplinary collaborations in critical minerals research. Increasing critical mineral supply chain resiliency remains important to the U.S. economy and defense. Existing research has yet to span fully the multi-disciplinary nature of approaches available to enhance supply chain resilience. Geologic, mining engineering, metallurgic, economic, environmental, and social components associated with critical minerals are usually discussed separately with little convergence among the different fields. This in-person workshop will address this gap by providing a platform for engineers, geoscientists, economists, and political scientists from industry, academia, and the government that rarely meet otherwise. The workshop organizers will prepare a comprehensive report that can be used to inform decision-making in pursuit of increasing supply chain resilience, ranging from mineral exploration, separation, and recovery to environmental and social impacts, as well as political processes. The workshop will help nurture an emerging national community with a wide range of expertise in critical mineral supply resilience, spanning academic, industry, and government entities. Travel grants, particularly for students and early-career researchers, will help build a community that spans generations and ensure the meeting's lasting impact. The development of a healthy and active critical mineral community is pivotal to national security and the economy because the U.S. is currently import-reliant for most of the commodities on the critical minerals list. This workshop will develop and publish roadmaps for guiding efforts to gradually decrease import reliance for individual critical minerals, thereby strengthening the economic competitiveness of the U.S. Further, this workshop will generate insights into how U.S. universities can meet the projected future demands for the nation's critical minerals workforce, particularly in rural areas which are most likely to contain undiscovered resources.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

2019年，国务院履行了2017年总统行政命令，并确定了35个对美国经济和国家安全至关重要的“关键矿物”。较新的2022年列表包括50个关键矿物质，而美国对大多数商品的进口仍然可靠。从关键矿物清单中删除材料需要一种多学科的方法，该方法包括矿物探索，材料流量分析，可持续性，采矿方法，公共政策，矿产经济学，提取冶金和生产过程。为了为来自学术界，私营部门和代表这些学科的政府机构的利益相关者提供平台，密苏里州S＆T大学将在密苏里州在密苏里州Rolla的校园中，将于8月9日至103日在密苏里州罗拉的校园中提出一个面对面的讲习班，将于8月9日至103日介绍关键主题供应。以及各自领域的多元化，矿物处理和回收，政策制定和资源可持续性。增强供应弹性所需的技术的跨学科性质。研讨会的调查结果将在研讨会报告中进行总结和传播。该研讨会的面对面格式将有助于发展和护理来自学术界，政府机构和私营部门的参与者之间的个人关系，从而支持关键未成年人研究中的多学科合作。提高关键的矿物供应链弹性对美国的经济和国防仍然很重要。现有的研究尚未完全涵盖可用的方法的多学科性质，以增强供应链的弹性。通常会分别讨论与关键矿物质相关的地质，矿化工程，冶金，经济，环境和社会组成部分，而不同领域之间的融合很少。这个面对面的研讨会将通过为工程师，地球科学家，经济学以及工业，学术界和政府的工程师，地球科学家，经济学和政治科学家提供平台，以解决这一差距，这些平台很少见面。研讨会组织者将准备一份全面的报告，该报告可用于为决策提供供应链的弹性，从矿产勘探，分离和恢复到环境和社会影响以及政治过程。该研讨会将帮助护理一个新兴的民族社区，在关键的矿产供应弹性，涵盖学术，工业和政府实体方面具有广泛的专业知识。旅行补助金，特别是针对学生和早期研究人员，将有助于建立一个跨越几代人并确保会议持久影响的社区。健康和活跃的关键矿产界的发展对国家安全和经济至关重要，因为美国目前在关键矿物清单上的大多数商品中都是进口式的。该研讨会将开发和发布路线图，以指导努力逐渐减少个人关键矿物的进口退休，从而增强了美国的经济竞争力，该研讨会将产生深入了解美国大学如何满足预计的未来大学对国家关键矿产劳动力的未来需求，尤其是在不肯定的统计中，尤其是在农村地区宣布的宣传。通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来支持。
