This award provides partial support for a workshop to bring together a diverse group of community experts from academia, government, and industry to explore the integration of major Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) activities in various universities across the nation and to learn about important ongoing MGI research through plenary speakers and posters on major MGI-related themes. The Materials Genome Initiative is a multi-agency initiative designed to create a new era of policy, resources, and infrastructure that support U.S. institutions in the effort to discover, manufacture, and deploy advanced materials twice as fast, at a fraction of the cost. Ideas developed during the workshop will provide the foundation to develop a roadmap for integrating MGI activities. This will advance the science and engineering of materials. Since advanced materials are essential to economic security and human well-being, this workshop contributes more broadly to the needs of society. This workshop contributes to building a network to integrate ongoing and future activities associated with the MGI. The workshop will be held June 5-6, 2014 at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia. The MGI has launched a broad discussion among industry, government and university stakeholders on digital data, computation, and experiments necessary to accelerate the discovery and development of materials and their incorporation into products. The stated MGI goal is to speed up the process from discovery to deployment, in "half the time at half the cost." However, efforts to achieve this goal are often localized in specific institutions leading to major challenges in integrating efforts to achieve synergies, employ best practices, and avoid duplication. Related to these challenges, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, in conjunction with the 2nd anniversary of the MGI, announced in June 2013 an initiative organized jointly by Georgia Tech, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the University of Michigan to begin a national dialogue regarding prospects for establishing a national scale "Accelerator Network" for materials discovery, development, and deployment. Such an Accelerator Network would support MGI goals of significantly reducing the timeframe required to discover, develop, and deploy materials through collaborative efforts among industry, government, and university stakeholders. The merit of this activity lies in its potential to lead to more efficient and effective incorporation of scientific and engineering advances from institutions across the nation leading into the community leading to more rapid progress on the effort to decrease the time from the discovery of a material to its deployment in products.

该奖项为一个研讨会提供部分支持，该研讨会汇集了来自学术界、政府和行业的不同社区专家，以探索全国各大学重大材料基因组倡议(MGI)活动的整合，并通过全体演讲者和与MGI相关的主要主题的海报来了解正在进行的重要的MGI研究。材料基因组计划是一个多机构倡议，旨在开创一个政策、资源和基础设施的新纪元，支持美国机构努力以更快的速度发现、制造和部署先进材料，而成本只有美国的一小部分。研讨会期间提出的想法将为制定整合MGI活动的路线图奠定基础。这将推动材料科学和工程的发展。由于先进材料对经济安全和人类福祉至关重要，该讲习班对社会的需求作出了更广泛的贡献。该讲习班有助于建立一个网络，将正在进行的和未来与MGI相关的活动结合起来。研讨会将于2014年6月5日至6日在佐治亚州亚特兰大的佐治亚理工学院举行。MGI在行业、政府和大学利益相关者中发起了一场关于数字数据、计算和实验的广泛讨论，这些数据、计算和实验是加速材料发现和开发以及将其纳入产品所必需的。MGI提出的目标是加快从发现到部署的过程，以“一半的时间和一半的成本”。然而，实现这一目标的努力往往局限于特定机构，导致在整合努力以实现协同增效、采用最佳做法和避免重复方面面临重大挑战。与这些挑战相关的是，白宫科学和技术政策办公室在2013年6月MGI两周年之际宣布了一项由佐治亚理工学院、威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校和密歇根大学联合组织的倡议，旨在就建立全国范围的材料发现、开发和部署“加速器网络”的前景展开全国对话。这样的加速器网络将支持MGI的目标，即通过行业、政府和大学利益相关者之间的协作努力，显著缩短发现、开发和部署材料所需的时间框架。这项活动的优点在于，它有可能更有效地将来自全国各地机构的科学和工程进步纳入社区，从而在努力减少从发现材料到产品部署的时间方面取得更快的进展。
