The Institute for Materials and Manufacturing Research (IMR) is thrilled to announce awards for the Autumn 2023 Kickstart Facility Grants. IMR’s Kickstart Facility Grant Program makes shared campus research facilities more accessible to demonstrate materials-related research results with the goal of strengthening near- term research proposals for external support.
