MRSECs are a major program of the NSF’s Division of Materials Research (DMR), and aim to support interdisciplinary materials research and education while addressing fundamental problems in science and engineering. MRSECs typically comprise 2-3 IRGs, together with education and outreach initiatives, collaborations with industry, and shared instrumentation. PIs are typically located at a single institution, although strategic partnerships are valued. Typical total funding is ~$3M per year for six years.
