CCMD Background
The Center for Computational Materials Design (CCMD), a collaborative effort between The Pennsylvania State University and the Georgia Institute of Technology, is a National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC). The CCMD develops long-term partnerships with industry and government in the emerging technology of materials design. Catalyzed by an investment from the NSF, the CCMD is primarily supported by Center members, with NSF providing support for administrative infrastructure and Center development. Both Penn State and Georgia Tech provide considerable overhead reduction on CCMD projects to provide further substantial leveraging of member dues. Research initiatives are recommended by the Member Advisory Board.
