The intent of the SMST Founders’ Grant is to provide funding for early, exploratory research related to shapememo- ry and superelasticity. It is expected that the funds will be used as a “seed grant,” used to test a concept and lay a foundation for obtaining further funding from industry or government agencies. The grant, which was endowed in 2019 by Dr. T. W. Duerig, FASM, includes a stipend up to $50,000 over two years. Deadline to apply is January 15, 2021 .
