Ceramics: <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 5pt 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US">This program supports fundamental scientific research in ceramics (e.g., oxides, carbides, nitrides and borides), glass-ceramics, inorganic glasses, ceramic-based composites and inorganic carbon-based materials. Projects should be centered on experiments; inclusion of computational and theory components are encouraged. The objective of the program is to increase fundamental understanding and to develop predictive capabilities for relating synthesis, processing, and microstructure of these materials to their properties and ultimate performance in various environments and applications. Research to enhance or enable the discovery or creation of new ceramic materials is welcome. Development of new experimental techniques or novel approaches to carry out projects is encouraged. Topics supported include basic processes and mechanisms associated with nucleation and growth of thin films; bulk crystal growth; phase transformations and equilibria; morphology; surface modification; corrosion, interfaces and grain boundary structure; and defects. PIs uncertain about whether or not their project is suitable for submission to the Ceramics Program may submit a draft of their NSF Project Summary by e-mail to the Program Director for comment.</span>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 5pt 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US">Four-year projects are encouraged in the Ceramics Program; projects of shorter durations are also welcome.* Budgets are typically $110,000 to $160,000 per year for each project; smaller budgets are permissible. PIs are encouraged to include all anticipated broader impact activities in their initial proposals, rather than planning on supplemental requests. Most projects include: (1) the anticipated significance on science, engineering and/or technology including possible benefits to society, (2) plans for the dissemination, and (3) broadening participation of underrepresented groups and/or excellence in training, mentoring, and/or teaching. Many successful proposals include one additional broader impact activity. Submission of proposals early (e.g., at the beginning of the submission window) is recommended to allow time for correction of any compliance issues.</span>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 5pt 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;" lang="EN-US">* Recent CAREER grants supported through the Ceramics Program have had total budgets ranging from $500,000 to $550,000; all CAREER grants are five years in duration with a minimum $400,000 budget.</span>
