Advanced Manufacturing, Design, and Operations (AMDO) | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation Advanced Manufacturing, Design, and Operations (AMDO) Important information for proposers and award recipients All proposals must be submitted in accordance with the requirements specified in the funding opportunity and in the Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) and its supplements .
All NSF grants and cooperative agreements are subject to the applicable set of NSF award terms and conditions . NSF has updated its research security policies for NSF funded projects. Supports fundamental research on advanced manufacturing, materials and service processes; their integration into facilities, supply chains, and other systems; and the optimal operation and design of these systems.
The Advanced Manufacturing, Design, and Operations (AMDO) program aims to transform domestic manufacturing and build resilient supply chains. AMDO bolsters national priorities in advanced manufacturing and related areas for connected, smart and intelligent systems. Its investments strengthen U.S. competitiveness, high-value jobs, and the economy.
The AMDO program supports fundamental research on manufacturing processes, systems and services. It supports the integration of processes and information into systems ranging from single facilities to complex supply chains. AMDO also supports the secure, effective and efficient operation and design of these systems at different scales of time and complexity.
The AMDO program seeks to accelerate advances in materials processing and manufacturing; these advances significantly improve existing capabilities or lead to new ones. The program supports generalizable methods and frameworks for integrating manufacturing processes and equipment in systems. Of special interest are those that make use of advances in robotics, artificial intelligence, and augmented and virtual reality.
The program also supports research on theories and methods for the design of products, services, processes, materials, and systems. The AMDO program invests in new analytical methods to aid decision-making in the design and operation of manufacturing systems. Partnerships: To speed discovery and innovation, NSF partners with federal agencies, industry, international groups, and others.

NSF 26-514, 26-515 and 26-518 put $310 million and up to 850 awards on rolling submission with zero per-PI limits, while chemistry rations two proposals a year and materials rations one. The Engineering directorate ran this experiment eight years ago. When NSF tried it in Earth Sciences, proposal volume fell 59 percent. Here is what that history predicts, and how to use a directorate that is not counting your submissions.
Read articleOn July 14, 2026, NSF named 12 new Regional Innovation Engines across 20 states, each starting with $15 million over two years and eligible for up to $160 million across a decade. But the Engines program is not a research grant — it is a bet on a regional coalition's ability to convert federal seed money into private matching capital. The first cohort turned $135 million into over $2 billion in commitments. Here is how the milestone-gated structure actually works, who wins these awards, and what a region needs in place long before the next competition opens.
Read articleNSF is investing up to $160M per region over a decade through its Engines program. With 15 finalists competing for round two, here is how the program works and who should pay attention.
