项目摘要

PART 1: NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARYCombined with the increasing capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms and high throughput means for syntheses and materials characterization, advances in materials design have the potential to transform the modern industrial economy and address the urgent challenges of material waste and usage of natural resources. In this way, the United States is positioned to be a leader in sustainable materials and climate-friendly manufacturing processes. Moreover, the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI), which was introduced in 2011, has been widely recognized as one of the most significant developments in materials research over the past decade. Its re-envisioning of how computation, theory, and experiment can work together in never-before-seen ways resulted in a rapid transformation of the working paradigm for both US materials science and engineering and the broader community, which encompasses researchers from other disciplines including chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics, and computer science. In particular, its ability to: (a) create vast materials datasets; (b) encourage researchers from disparate disciplines to interact in meaningful ways; and (c) incentivize the open sharing and analysis of data led to the accelerated development of many new classes of materials. This strength can now be leveraged to readily grow key areas of national need. Here, we put forward that sustainable materials development and manufacturing is an international necessity to mitigate the effects of waste in our environment, and it is also a factor in the future economic vitality of many industries.PART 2: TECHNICAL SUMMARYBy taking an MGI-based approach to sustainable materials and manufacturing, we will address this critical opportunity in a complete way such that one of the biggest challenges facing the nation, and the global community, can be addressed in a holistic manner. To this end, we will host a Square Table (ST) over the course of 2, half-day sessions to discuss strategies for advancing the science of sustainable materials and facilitating the adoption of their capabilities into manufacturing at large under the MGI umbrella. The main goal of implementing the ST concept is to provide structure and self-facilitated interactions among stakeholders who do not typically interact with one another and to bridge gaps that exist between industry, federal agencies, and academia in an open and unbiased manner. In this way, we anticipate that this event will provide a clear picture of the current status and future vision of the sustainable materials and manufacturing community. This ST cuts to the heart of one of the most pressing societal challenges, and it will necessarily bridge across multiple disciplines to have the desired impact. Critically, the organizers of the event recognize the need to welcome a diversity of voices, and they will implement a recruiting plan to attract researchers from a variety of backgrounds such that a diverse and inclusive approach is taken at the outset of addressing an opportunity that affects all people. Importantly, both established and early-career (e.g., postdoctoral researchers and untenured faculty members) researchers will be event participants. Moreover, the ST will ensure that participants will be present from large and small businesses, federal agencies, and host of geographically-disperse academic institutional types including Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

第一部分：结合人工智能（AI）和机器学习算法以及用于合成和材料表征的高通量方法的不断增长的能力，材料设计的进步有可能改变现代工业经济，并解决材料浪费和自然资源使用的紧迫挑战。通过这种方式，美国将成为可持续材料和气候友好型制造工艺的领导者。此外，2011年推出的材料基因组计划（MGI）被广泛认为是过去十年来材料研究中最重要的发展之一。它对计算、理论和实验如何以前所未有的方式协同工作的重新设想，导致了美国材料科学和工程以及更广泛的社区工作范式的快速转变，其中包括来自其他学科的研究人员，包括化学、物理、生物学、数学和计算机科学。特别是，它有能力：（a）创建大量材料数据集;（B）鼓励不同学科的研究人员以有意义的方式进行互动;（c）激励数据的开放共享和分析，从而加速了许多新类别材料的开发。现在可以利用这一优势，迅速发展国家需求的关键领域。在此，我们提出，可持续材料开发和制造是减轻废弃物对环境影响的国际必要性，也是许多行业未来经济活力的一个因素。第2部分：技术总结通过采用基于MGI的可持续材料和制造方法，我们将全面把握这一关键机遇，以便能够全面应对我国和国际社会面临的最大挑战之一。为此，我们将在两个半天的会议期间举办一个方桌（ST），讨论推进可持续材料科学的战略，并促进在MGI保护伞下将其能力应用于整个制造业。实施科技概念的主要目标是在通常彼此不互动的利益相关者之间提供结构和自我促进的互动，并以开放和公正的方式弥合行业、联邦机构和学术界之间存在的差距。通过这种方式，我们预计此次活动将清晰地展示可持续材料和制造业的现状和未来愿景。这一ST切入了最紧迫的社会挑战之一的核心，它必然会跨越多个学科，以产生预期的影响。至关重要的是，该活动的组织者认识到需要欢迎各种声音，他们将实施一项招聘计划，吸引来自各种背景的研究人员，以便在处理影响所有人的机会时采取多样化和包容性的方法。重要的是，无论是既定的和早期的职业生涯（例如，博士后研究人员和非终身教职人员）研究人员将参加活动。此外，ST将确保参与者将出席从大型和小型企业，联邦机构，和主机的地理分散的学术机构类型，包括少数民族服务机构（MSI）和历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCU）。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
