The MRSEC Impact Assessment Committee was convened by the National
Research Council in response to an informal request from the National Science
Foundation. Charged to examine the impact of the Materials Research Science and
Engineering Centers program (MRSEC program) and to provide guidance for the
future (see Appendix A), the committee included experts from across materials
research as well as several from outside the ield (see Appendix G for biographical
sketches of the committee members).
The committee describes its analysis in this report at three different levels of
detail in order to make the analysis accessible to the broadest possible audience.
The Executive Summary provides a brief summary of the report. The Overview
describes the complete chain of reasoning and includes all of the indings, conclu-
sions, and recommendations. Chapters 1 through 6 then present detailed discus-
sions and evidence.
In preparing its report, the committee found it necessary to distinguish among
three types of key statements. All appear in boldface within this report but are to
be distinguished as follows:
* General inding: A nontrivial observation that, in the committee’s judgment,
arises from the evidence examined in the course of its work. These general
indings express general principles that are not unique to the MRSEC pro-
gram performance and impact assessment.
* Conclusion: A nontrivial observation that the committee derived during

its work that pertains directly to the MRSEC program’s performance and
impact assessment.
* Recommendation: An action item assigned to speciic entities that the com-
mittee believes will enhance the future performance and impact of the
MRSEC program for materials research.
The committee thanks its generous hosts at each of its site visits (Boston
University, California Institute of Technology, Harvard University, Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, Michigan State University, University of California at San
Diego, University of California at Santa Barbara, University of Florida, University
of Michigan, University of Southern California, and University of Southern Mis-
sissippi); these half-day meetings were an invaluable data-gathering tool for the
committee. The warm hospitality provided an environment for frank discussion
and insightful suggestions that contributed to the committee’s understanding of
the issues. At each of its meetings, many invited experts gave testimony on their
experiences working in materials research (see Appendix B). The committee greatly
appreciates the time and effort that these individuals put into preparing their
remarks.
The committee gratefully acknowledges the thoughtful and very helpful par-
ticipation of the staff from the National Research Council’s Board on Science Edu-
cation, including Jean Moon, Andrew Shouse, and Yan Liu. These experts helped
the committee to collect and analyze data on the education and outreach activities
at Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers as well as understand the
frontiers of research in science education.
