The National Science Foundation (NSF) announced a meeting for the Proposal Review Panel for Materials Research at the University of California, Santa Barbara. This meeting, scheduled for April 24, 2025, will be held virtually and is part-open to the public. The purpose is to assess the progress and performance of the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) during the second year of their award as part of a cooperative agreement. Some sessions will be closed due to the discussion of confidential and proprietary information.
Simple Explanation
The National Science Foundation is having a meeting online to check how a special science center is doing in California. Some parts of the meeting are open to everyone, but other parts are secret because they talk about private stuff.
