| The NSF Division of Materials Research (DMR) has long supported work in biomaterials through its programs in Condensed Matter Physics, Condensed Matter and Materials Theory, Solid State and Materials Chemistry, Ceramics, Metals, and Polymers. Given a steady increase in bio-related proposals submitted to DMR, the Division initiated a new program in Biomaterials (BMAT) in 2006 to collect and review together proposals involving biomaterials. This program will support fundamental research on materials of biological origin, materials inspired by materials of biological origin, and materials, whether or not of biological origin, intended for applications requiring compatibility with biological systems. Studies of the synthesis and properties of biomaterials and the phenomena associated with them are candidates for support by BMAT. This talk will describe the range of biomaterials research and education currently supported by DMR through BMAT and through its Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers (MRSEC) and its investment in large research facilities. |
