This award funds a workshop to bring together Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) grantees and program managers from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Department of Energy (DoE), the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and various other federal agencies with a stake in the MGI. The MGI was launched in 2011 to accelerate the discovery, design, development, and deployment of new materials, at a fraction of the cost, by harnessing the power of data and computational tools in concert with experiment. As NSF's response to the MGI, the Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer our Future (DMREF) program seeks to foster collaborations between materials researchers with expertise in synthesis, experiment, theory, computation, and data science on highly iterative feedback loops in which experimental results directly inform theory and computation, and vice versa. This workshop brings together DMREF awardees with those supported by other federal agencies in order to discuss their challenges and successes; provide an assessment of the current status of the Initiative; and be a springboard to collaborative work leveraging rapid growth in data, data-driven AI/ML, and community-wide infrastructure development. A primary goal of this workshop is to assess the current status and opportunities for MGI across participating agencies. The following aims are pursued: 1) Accelerate materials research through data-driven approaches including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and natural language processing, 2) Transition fundamental research along the Materials Development Continuum, 3) Address educational and diversity issues, and 4) Promote collaboration among MGI PIs. The workshop will consist of overview talks of MGI-related activities at various federal agencies, technical presentations by the attendees, poster sessions, and breakout sessions on overarching topics. The overarching themes will be presented in a report for dissemination to the broader materials research community and the public. The program includes workgroups focused on workforce development where students and postdoctoral scholars are encouraged to attend and participate. Results from the workshop will be made available to the broader materials community and the public in the form of an electronic (PDF) Conference Proceeding booklet that will include abstracts from the posters and presentations. The workshop, which will be held in downtown Washington DC on July 30-31, 2024, follows a series of successful workshops, the latest being held in June 2022.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.

该奖项资助举办一个研讨会，将材料基因组计划 (MGI) 受资助者和来自国家科学基金会 (NSF)、能源部 (DoE)、空军研究实验室 (AFRL)、海军研究办公室 ( ONR)、美国陆军作战能力发展司令部 (DEVCOM)、美国国家标准与技术研究所 (NIST) 以及与 MGI 持股的其他各个联邦机构。 MGI 于 2011 年启动，旨在通过利用数据和计算工具的力量与实验相结合，以极低的成本加速新材料的发现、设计、开发和部署。作为 NSF 对 MGI 的回应，设计材料以彻底改变和设计我们的未来 (DMREF) 计划旨在促进具有合成、实验、理论、计算和数据科学专业知识的材料研究人员之间在高度迭代反馈循环方面的合作，其中实验结果直接影响理论和计算，反之亦然。该研讨会将 DMREF 获奖者与其他联邦机构支持的获奖者聚集在一起，讨论他们面临的挑战和成功；对该倡议的现状进行评估；并成为利用数据、数据驱动的人工智能/机器学习和社区基础设施开发快速增长的协作工作的跳板。本次研讨会的主要目标是评估参与机构中 MGI 的现状和机会。我们追求以下目标：1）通过数据驱动的方法（包括人工智能、机器学习和自然语言处理）加速材料研究，2）沿着材料开发连续体过渡基础研究，3）解决教育和多样性问题，以及4）促进 MGI PI 之间的合作。该研讨会将包括各个联邦机构与 MGI 相关活动的概述演讲、与会者的技术演示、海报会议以及关于总体主题的分组会议。总体主题将在一份报告中提出，以便向更广泛的材料研究界和公众传播。该计划包括专注于劳动力发展的工作组，鼓励学生和博士后学者参加。研讨会的结果将以电子 (PDF) 会议记录小册子的形式提供给更广泛的材料界和公众，其中包括海报和演示文稿的摘要。该研讨会将于 2024 年 7 月 30 日至 31 日在华盛顿特区市中心举行，此前已举办了一系列成功的研讨会，最近一次研讨会于 2022 年 6 月举行。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
