2024 Advanced Materials Challenge Project Call

LIFT and the Department of Defense today announced the launch of the 2024 Advanced Materials Challenge. The Advanced Materials Challenge is designed for industry and academia from across the nation to develop and accelerate the delivery of innovative material solutions for DoD applications.

Proposals should focus on identifying an advanced material of interest to DoD, design using decision aid tools and automation tools (i.e. ICME, M&S, AI, LLM , ML, etc.), prototyping both virtual and physical material systems (i.e. Digital Twin), and demonstrating the material's applicability in a DoD component or system.
