The Centers for Material Life Cycle Safety Program will focus on the area of sustainability, which entails a use of a different research approach.
The approach will follow the following stages through the life cycle of a material, specifically:(1) raw material acquisition, (2) production, (3) use, (4) reuse and redesign and (5) end of life management.
This approach covers all the aspects that is involved in the life cycle of a material or a chemical, which means that researchers will gain more control over them and their effects to the society.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency is geared to administer two grant awards under this program with a total funding amount of $10,000,000.
The institutions and organizations that will be deemed eligible to participate in the Centers for Material Life Cycle Safety Program are the following:
