Materials innovation is a pipeline, deriving from a deep understanding and control of material behavior and properties, leading to advanced materials designs that advance economic prosperity, address national and regional energy needs, and bolster national security. Improving this pipeline requires connecting independent but thematically congruent national and regional materials design efforts to align key stakeholders, consolidate diverse materials data expertise, simplify data access, coalesce on topics of data description and interoperability, enhance and ensure the quality of datasets, and deploy scalable data services to support materials researchers. The Midwest Big Data Spoke (MBD Spoke) for Integrative Materials Design (IMaD) connects researchers in industry, universities, and government to the people and services needed to easily find, access, and use data, tools, and services for materials design. The Midwest is the ideal place for such a program. Many major national materials design efforts funded by DOE, NIST, and NSF as part of the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) operate in the Midwest, and the Midwest is home to major manufacturing industries that depend critically on materials innovation for their continued competitiveness.The technical work of IMaD will involve integration of software and services from across the Midwest and beyond, including the Materials Commons, the Materials Data Facility, NIST Materials Resource Registry, and Citrine Informatics, to enable smooth flow of software and data among these different systems. For example, integrated authentication provided by Globus Auth will enable access to different components with common credentials (e.g., institutional credentials), and integration of Globus transfer will allow for rapid and reliable exchange of large datasets. Common schemas and metadata terms will be developed and deployed to permit cross-system searching and display of information. Materials data from partners across the Midwest and beyond will be loaded into the Material Data Facility to permit easy discovery and access. Concurrently with these and other development activities, a series of workshops and meetings will be convened to engage academic, government, and industry participants in defining requirements for, and making use of, the integrated system for materials design.This award received co-funding from the Math and Physical Sciences Directorate (MPS) Division of Materials Research (DMR).

材料创新是一条管道，源于对材料行为和特性的深刻理解和控制，导致先进的材料设计，促进经济繁荣，满足国家和地区的能源需求，并加强国家安全。改善这一管道需要连接独立但主题一致的国家和区域材料设计工作，以协调关键利益相关者，整合不同的材料数据专业知识，简化数据访问，合并数据描述和互操作性主题，提高和确保数据集的质量，并部署可扩展的数据服务以支持材料研究人员。集成材料设计（IMAD）的中西部大数据辐条（MBD辐条）将工业，大学和政府的研究人员与所需的人员和服务联系起来，以便轻松查找，访问和使用材料设计的数据，工具和服务。中西部是实施这一计划的理想场所。作为材料基因组计划（MGI）的一部分，由美国能源部、NIST和NSF资助的许多主要国家材料设计工作都在中西部开展，而中西部是主要制造业的所在地，这些制造业的持续竞争力严重依赖于材料创新。IMAD的技术工作将涉及整合来自中西部及其他地区的软件和服务，包括材料共享，材料数据设施、NIST材料资源登记处和Citrine信息学，以使软件和数据在这些不同的系统之间顺畅流动。例如，Globus Auth提供的集成身份验证将允许访问具有公共凭证的不同组件（例如，机构证书），Globus传输的整合将允许快速和可靠地交换大型数据集。将开发和部署通用模式和元数据术语，以允许跨系统搜索和显示信息。来自中西部及其他地区的合作伙伴的材料数据将被加载到材料数据设施中，以便于发现和访问。与这些和其他开发活动同时，将召开一系列研讨会和会议，让学术界、政府和行业参与者参与定义材料设计集成系统的要求和利用。该奖项由数学和物理科学理事会（MPS）材料研究部（DMR）共同资助。
