SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In June
2011, President Obama launched the
Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) to
help scientists and innovators discover,
develop, and deploy new materials
twice as fast as today. What began with
a modest investment by four Federal
agencies only three years ago has now
expanded to include participation by a
wide range of public and private
stakeholders, including universities,
companies, professional scientific
societies, and Federal agencies.
At the Federal level, MGI is managed
within the framework of the National
Science and Technology Council
(NSTC), the Cabinet-level council that
coordinates science and technology

across the Federal government. The
Subcommittee on the Materials Genome
Initiative (SMGI), under the NSTC
Committee on Technology, coordinates
Federal efforts in support of the goals of
MGI and identifies policies that will
accelerate deployment of advanced
materials. The SMGI includes
representatives from each agency
participating in MGI.
The SMGI developed this strategic
plan to outline the near-term steps the
Federal government will take to achieve
the vision put forth by MGI. It defines
the high-level goals and priorities for
the Initiative by describing each of four
strategic goals and the objectives and
near-term milestones needed to meet
these goals. This strategic plan also
describes scientific and technical
challenges identified by experts from
the materials science and engineering
communities that impede progress in
nine materials classes and that MGI can
help address. This input came through
two Grand Challenge Summits held in
2013 for stakeholders from academia
and industry (details available online at
https://www.ibbr.umd.edu/
NISTMGISummit). The experimental
and computational tools and scientific
cultural evolution emerging from MGI
can be directly applied to overcoming
these scientific and technical
challenges, and others that will emerge
in the future, to meet the President’s
directive for more rapid discovery and
deployment of advanced materials. The
SMGI is seeking public comment on this
strategic plan (available at https://
www.nist.gov/mgi/upload/MGIStrategicPlan-2014.pdf) in advance of
finalizing the document for publication.
