This award is for renewed support of the Materials Research Laboratory (MRL) under the direction of Dr. Myron B. Salamon at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The MRL is comprised of about 40 faculty members from six academic departments; 55 graduate students and 7 postdoctoral research associates are also supported. The research effort is concentrated on interactive, multidisciplinary research projects in several major thrust areas. The MRL also operates major central facilities that underpin materials research efforts at the University, and maintains a number of research service facilities in collaboration with other units on campus. There are interactions with industry and government laboratories in relation to MRL thrust area research. The planned research includes major thrust areas in optical semiconductors and heterostructures, advanced catalytic materials, metastability and dynamics of disordered materials, and advanced computational materials research. This MRL provides a superb environment for interactive research. Its central research facilities are second to none and it is effectively managed. The recent establishment on campus of major research centers in fields that complement materials research provides new opportunities that are fully recognized by the MRL. Many of the faculty are outstanding in their own areas of research; together they bring a formidable array of talent to bear in a strongly interactive manner on a number of important problems in materials research. The recommended budget provides adequate resources to support the proposed efforts in optical semiconductors and heterostructures and in advanced computational materials research; to make a rapid start in the area of advanced catalytic materials; to support thrust research in the dynamics of disordered materials; and to provide appropriate seed funding for new initiatives. It also provides for continuing strong support of instrumentation and central research facilities.

该奖项旨在表彰伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校 Myron B. Salamon 博士领导下的材料研究实验室 (MRL) 的新支持。 MRL 由来自六个学术部门的约 40 名教职人员组成；还支持 55 名研究生和 7 名博士后研究员。 研究工作集中在几个主要领域的互动、多学科研究项目。 MRL 还运营着支持大学材料研究工作的主要中央设施，并与校园内其他单位合作维护了许多研究服务设施。 与行业和政府实验室就 MRL 重点领域研究进行互动。 计划的研究包括光学半导体和异质结构、先进催化材料、无序材料的亚稳态和动力学以及先进计算材料研究等主要领域。 该 MRL 为交互式研究提供了极好的环境。 其中央研究设施是首屈一指的，并且管理有效。 最近在校园内建立的补充材料研究领域的主要研究中心提供了 MRL 充分认可的新机遇。 许多教师在各自的研究领域表现出色；他们汇聚了众多人才，以强有力的互动方式解决材料研究中的许多重要问题。 建议的预算提供了足够的资源来支持光学半导体和异质结构以及先进计算材料研究方面的拟议工作；在先进催化材料领域快速起步；支持无序材料动力学的推力研究；并为新举措提供适当的种子资金。 它还为仪器和中央研究设施提供持续的强有力支持。
