MPS Materials Research - Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation View image credit & caption Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) The U.S. National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (NSF MPS) supports multiple materials research programs.
These programs focus on advancing fundamental understanding of materials, their properties and their potential applications. Materials serve as critical building blocks for new technologies and improvements to existing technologies. Advances in materials research are behind new types of electronics, batteries, medical devices, body armor, high-performance aerospace materials and other innovations.
Materials research also enables new and emergent fields like artificial intelligence, biotechnology, quantum computers, quantum sensors and more. The discovery and understanding of advanced materials enabled by NSF MPS programs are essential for the development of future technologies that strengthen national security, grow the U.S. economy and improve quality of life.
MPS programs also play a critical role in training students and early-career researchers across the U.S. who will become the next generation of materials researchers, technicians and other roles in the nation's science, technology, engineering and mathematics workforce. Materials research programs MPS invests in multiple materials research programs supporting both theoretical and experimental research.
The programs support individual researchers, small teams and interdisciplinary research spanning multiple programs. Supports research and education on biological, biomimetic, bioinspired and bioenabled materials and synthetic materials intended for applications where they will be in contact with biological systems.
Supports research and education on ceramics, glass-ceramics, inorganic glasses, ceramic-based composites and inorganic carbon-based materials to develop predictive capabilities for these materials.
Condensed Matter and Materials Theory Supports fundamental theoretical research and education on hard and soft materials and related phenomena; development of associated analytical, computational and data-centric techniques; and predictive materials-specific theory, simulation and modeling.
Supports research and education in the investigation of the fundamental physics underlying condensed matter systems, including both hard and soft matter. Electronic and Photonic Materials Supports research and education in developing advanced materials to enable transformative advances in electronics, optoelectronics and photonics for use in computing, communications and sensing.
Metals and Metallic Nanostructures Supports research and education on the relationships between structure and properties of metals and their alloys. Supports research and education on the foundations of polymeric materials and polymer science, spanning the molecular level to the nanoscale and macroscale.
Solid State and Materials Chemistry Supports research and education on organic, inorganic and hybrid materials, with an emphasis on materials synthesis and the relationships between material structure and properties. Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer Our Future MPS supports and leads the cross-cutting Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer Our Future program.
The program includes multiple NSF directorates and other federal agencies and supports ambitious and collaborative research to rapidly and cost-effectively discover, develop and deploy advanced materials.
NSF Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers The NSF Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers program supports research centers that provide the resources and interdisciplinary environment needed for materials research activities of ambitious scope and complexity.
The centers have created many innovations, including plastics that conduct electricity, nanoparticle-based materials that harvest water from air, and superalloys that can withstand intense heat.

NSF announced three more X-Labs topics on September 16, 2026 — Artificial Intelligence for Physical Systems is live, with Sequence to Function and Computation at the Limit of Physics coming this fall. The Q&A webinar is October 14 and an RFI on future topics closes October 30. The per-topic key-personnel restriction is what should be driving your team-building decisions.
Read articleNSF's Arctic Research Opportunities solicitation funds roughly 75 awards a year — up to $50 million — across six program areas from natural sciences to social sciences to the Arctic Observing Network. The July 15, 2026 target date is not a hard deadline, and understanding that distinction is the first strategic decision an Arctic researcher makes. Here is how the six doors differ and how to choose the right one.
