Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation

The Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI) is one of four divisions in the U.S. National Science Foundation Directorate for Engineering. CMMI supports fundamental engineering research and education focused on: - Revitalizing manufacturing capabilities and methods. - Designing innovative engineering materials and building technologies. - Promoting resilient and sustainable civil infrastructure. - Enabling next-generation tools and systems for decision-making, robotics and controls. **What we support** CMMI funds fundamental research and education that advances civil, design, mechanical, industrial, systems, manufacturing and materials engineering. Areas of interest include: - [Advanced manufacturing](https://www.nsf.gov/focus-areas/manufacturing "Advanced Manufacturing") - [Artificial intelligence](https://www.nsf.gov/focus-areas/artificial-intelligence " Artificial Intelligence") - [Biotechnology](https://www.nsf.gov/focus-areas/biotechnology "Biotechnology") - [Communications and wireless](https://www.nsf.gov/focus-areas/communications-wireless "Communications and Wireless") - [Disaster risk and resilience](https://www.nsf.gov/focus-areas/disaster-resilience "Disaster Risk and Resilience") - [Education and training](https://www.nsf.gov/focus-areas/education "Education and Training") - [Nanotechnology](https://www.nsf.gov/focus-areas/nanotechnology "Nanotechnology") - [Research infrastructure](https://www.nsf.gov/eng/engineering-research-infrastructure "Engineering Research Infrastructure") - [Semiconductors and microelectronics](https://www.nsf.gov/focus-areas/semiconductors "Semiconductors and Microelectronics")
