Mechanics of Advanced Materials Systems (MAMS) | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation Mechanics of Advanced Materials Systems (MAMS) 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 deformation and failure in engineered and biological materials or materials systems.
The Mechanics of Advanced Materials Systems (MAMS) program supports fundamental research on how materials change in shape or size under internal and external forces. Advances can impact energy, health, quantum information science, nuclear technology, biotechnology, and other areas. The MAMS program seeks to transform understanding of deformation and failure in materials or materials systems.
The program scope includes engineered and biological materials, but not geomaterials. Research may involve experiments, theory, and/or computations. It can be informed by methods and techniques in artificial intelligence.
Projects should contribute fundamental ideas to solid mechanics, biomechanics, and/or mechanobiology. The MAMS program supports research related to material response, including contact, fracture, and fatigue. MAMS also supports research related to structural element response, such as nonlinear deformation, instability, and stress wave propagation.
MAMS projects on biological materials must have clear biological and mechanics components. They also must improve understanding of the mechanical behavior of a living system. Research may address mechanical behavior across multiple domains, from molecules and cells to tissues and living systems.
Partnerships: To speed discovery and innovation, NSF partners with federal agencies, industry, international groups, and others. Current opportunities are at NSF ENG Partnerships . This program advances NSF’s mission as given in the NSF organic statute ( 42 U.S.C.

On 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.
Read articleNSF announced ELEGANT on September 17, 2026, an Other Transaction Agreement Solutions Offering to translate low-dimensional semiconductor technologies into manufacturable platforms. Five translation themes, one Ecosystem Coordinator, and a rule that says you cannot bid for both. Here is how to read the structure before the deadline is published.
