DMR Outreach Activities By: Velma Lawson October 18, 2016

Outreach Mission To promote science by forming networks with research societies and other federal agencies as a vessel that will help give insight on the Division of Materials Research (DMR) for the next generation of material researchers and program directors.

Who is DMR? Biomaterials Ceramics Condensed Mater and Materials Theory Condensed Matter Physics Electronic and Photonic Materials Metals and Metallic Nanostructures Polymers Solid-State & Materials Chemistry Designing Materials to Revolutionize & Engineer Our Future Materials Innovation Platforms Materials Research Science & Engineering Centers National Facilities Partnerships for Research & Education in Materials Office of Cross-Cutting Activities in Materials Research

Why Should We Invest in Outreach? To Bring Awareness About DMR Programs To Build Networks and Collaborations To Foster Interaction with PIs, Students , Peers and Colleagues To Provide NSF Guidelines on How to Write a Successful Proposal and Funding Opportunities? To Recruit Potential Program Directors and Science Assistants To Handout Program Contact Cards and Other Materials To Give the Administrative Staff an Opportunity to Learn More About DMR Programs and NSF To Give the Community a Vision of DMR Program Directors
