Materials Science and Engineering Data Challenge Resources

This page provides links to data, informatics tools, and related information to support participation in the Materials Science and Engineering Data Challenge. Thank you to the many supportive colleagues who have helped us develop this list - it continues to be a team effort. Please note that due to practical limitations these resources have not been reviewed by us and are provided without any assurances of accuracy, quality, performance, or value for your particular project.

About the Materials Science and Engineering Data Challenge

The Air Force Research Lab (AFRL), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and National Science Foundation (NSF) are sponsoring a contest to pursue the goals of the Materials Genome Initiative. The focus is to seek novel uses of accessible digital data to advance Materials Science and Engineering knowledge, and accelerate the transition to industrial applications.
