MATERIALS GENOME INITIATIVE (2012): $100 M with “funding for the DOE, the DOF, the NSF, and the NIST. The initiative will support the development of computational tools, software, new methods for material characterization, and the development of open standards and databases that will make the process of discovery and development of advanced materials faster, less expensive, and more predictable.” (Read the goals and funders carefully). ”
