Innovation activities are spread throughout Foundation in the form of various Center programs, for example, and cross-cutting Directorate programs (like GOALI, PFI:AIR that are managed out of IIP but can link with any of the NSF funded work). However, ENG has many innovation related activities, especially the IIP division.

6. MME Program Synopsis
MME supports fundamental research that enables the development of new and/or improved manufacturing machines and equipment, and optimization of their use.
Proposals relating to a wide range of manufacturing operations are encouraged, including both subtractive and additive processes, forming, bonding/joining, and laser processing.
Of particular interest are proposals that relate to the manufacture of equipment and facilities that enable the production of energy products.

7. Competitive Proposals Received by MME
Competitive projects will propose hypothesis-driven research that advances the frontiers of knowledge in relevant areas.
Proposals submitted to the MME program should include a clearly articulated research (not developmental) objective and a coherent plan to accomplish the stated objective.
Both experimental and theoretical work are supported.
All proposals must include a statement outlining the societal benefits of the proposed activities.
