The grant provides funding for a workshop on Research in Materials and Manufacturing for Extreme Affordability (RIMMEA) that will bring together experts from architecture, design, engineering and science from around the world. The two-day workshop is a partnership between Ball State University, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and IEEE (financial support), to be hosted in Muncie, Indiana in January 2011. The workshop will focus on research opportunities range from application of advanced manufacturing and logistics technologies to deliver extremely affordable temporary and long term housing solutions that are also culturally rooted to the role of extremely affordable materials and manufacturing solutions for disaster relief and defense. BoP problems spanning architecture, industrial design, engineering, logistics, and strategy will be explored.In addition to implementing the workshop and conducting an outcomes assessment of the learning that occurred among participants, the workshop will lead to the identification of important RIMMEA questions that are best addressed by employing integrated and systems approaches; development of priorities and assessment criteria for determining scientific maturity and merit of the topics; establishment of a research community for the further development of a RIMMEA program; and a report that provides NSF with a basis for requesting additional national resources for RIMMEA. The workshop will promote diversity among US and international attendees, impact more than thirty researchers, and directly impact billions of people at the BoP. With the involvement of organizations with worldwide networks such as ASME, Engineers without Borders, IEEE, OperationUSA, and The Honeybee Network, dissemination of learning from the workshop can be high.

该赠款为一个关于材料和制造研究的研讨会提供资金，该研讨会将汇集来自世界各地的建筑，设计，工程和科学专家。为期两天的研讨会是由鲍尔州立大学、美国机械工程师协会（ASME）和IEEE（财政支持）合作举办的，将于2011年1月在印第安纳州曼西举行。该研讨会将重点关注研究机会，从先进制造和物流技术的应用，到提供极其负担得起的临时和长期住房解决方案，这些解决方案也植根于文化，到极其负担得起的材料和制造解决方案在救灾和防御中的作用。将探讨跨越建筑、工业设计、工程、物流和战略的国际收支问题。除了实施研讨会和对与会者的学习成果进行评估外，研讨会还将确定最好通过采用综合和系统方法解决的重要RIMMEA问题;制定优先事项和评估标准，以确定科学成熟度和主题的价值;建立研究团体，以进一步发展RIMMEA计划;以及一份报告，为NSF提供了一个基础，要求为RIMMEA提供额外的国家资源。该研讨会将促进美国和国际与会者的多样性，影响30多名研究人员，并直接影响国际收支平衡表的数十亿人。随着ASME、无国界工程师组织、IEEE、OperationUSA和The Honeybee Network等全球网络组织的参与，研讨会的学习传播可能会很高。
