Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer our Future March 26th & 27th 2018 Meeting

非技术性说明：这项赠款资助了一个研讨会，汇集了材料基因组计划（MGI）的受助人和项目经理从国家科学基金会（NSF）和能源部（DOE），沿着那些从其他联邦机构，包括国家标准与技术研究所（NIST）和国防部（DoD）。作为NSF对总统材料基因组计划的回应，设计材料以革命和工程我们的未来（DMREF）计划旨在促进材料研究人员在实验，理论和计算方面的紧密合作。这些合作建立在高度迭代的反馈回路上，实验结果直接为理论和计算提供信息，反之亦然，目的是加速新材料的发现和开发。研讨会为研究人员提供了一个论坛，分享他们的研究成果，并讨论与建立和维持研究合作，管理数字数据和支持长期模拟软件开发相关的跨领域主题。技术说明：参与材料基因组计划项目的研究人员通过实施战略来实现该计划设定的目标，包括减少将新材料推向市场所需的成本和时间，从而为更广泛的材料研究社区提供领导。研讨会的目标是：1）确定MGI的成功，2）促进数据驱动的研究，人工智能和机器学习的材料发现和开发，3）过渡基础研究沿着材料开发连续体最终部署，以及4）确定MGI主要研究者（PI）与其他实验室合作的机制。通过演讲、分组会议和讨论确定的总体主题将在一份报告中提出，以便向更广泛的材料研究界传播。MGI项目正在开发可用于帮助更大社区研究的工具，本次研讨会介绍了执行这一任务的最有效方法。该研讨会将于2018年3月26日至27日在马里兰州的学院公园举行，随后举办了一系列成功的研讨会，最新的研讨会将于2016年1月11日至12日在马里兰州的贝塞斯达举行。

Non-technical description: This grant funds a workshop to bring together Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) grantees and program managers from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Department of Energy (DOE), along with those from other federal agencies including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Department of Defense (DoD). As NSF's response to the President's Materials Genome Initiative, the Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer our Future (DMREF) program seeks to foster tight collaborations between materials researchers in experiment, theory, and computation. These collaborations are founded on highly iterative feedback loops in which experimental results directly inform theory and computation, and vice versa, with the goal of accelerating the discovery and development of new materials. The workshop provides researchers a forum to share their research results and discuss cross-cutting topics related to establishing and sustaining research collaborations, managing digital data, and supporting long-term simulation software development. Technical description: Researchers that are participating in Material Genome Initiative projects provide leadership to the broader materials research community by implementing strategies to achieve the goals set out by this Initiative, including reducing both the cost and time it takes to bring a new material to market. The goals of the workshop are to: 1) Identify successes of the MGI, 2) Promote data-driven research, artificial intelligence, and machine learning for materials discovery and development, 3) Transition fundamental research along the Materials Development Continuum toward eventual deployment, and 4) Identify mechanisms for MGI principal investigators (PIs) to partner with those at other laboratories. Overarching themes identified through presentations, break-out sessions, and discussions will be presented in a report for dissemination to the broader materials research community. MGI projects are developing tools that are made available to aid research of the larger community and this workshop presents the most effective ways to implement this task. The workshop, which will be held in College Park, Maryland on March 26-27, 2018, follows in a series of successful workshops, the latest being held in Bethesda, Maryland January 11-12, 2016.
