Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is to create a consortium focused on reducing embodied energy and emissions in materials manufacturing. REMADE says its research and development addresses five areas across the material life cycle: systems analysis and integration; design for reuse, remanufacturing, recovery, and recycling; manufacturing materials optimization; remanufacturing and end-of-life reuse; and recycling and recovery. Its stated material classes are metals, polymers, fibers, and electronic scrap.
The 2024 grants included support for materials science research, sometimes including personnel. Recipients included universities and research-related organizations. For example, Rochester Institute of Technology describes its mission as using technology, the arts, and design to shape the future and improve the world; the University of Massachusetts Lowell’s research organization describes its role as supporting research and applied research and development at the university and its affiliated entities. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not the funder’s.
Grantmaking
In 2024, the organization awarded 27 grants totaling $11,222,699. Grant amounts ranged from $44,746 to $1,727,275, with a median of $261,935. The largest awards included $1,727,275 to Rochester Institute of Technology, $1,415,415 to The Pennsylvania State University, $1,099,968 to Ohio State University, $956,658 to the University of Massachusetts Lowell, and $664,242 to Solvus Global. The listed purposes were principally materials science research, with some awards also supporting personnel.
The REMADE website describes competitive funding opportunities through requests for proposals. Its RFP 25-02 sought demonstration, verification, and validation projects related to manufacturing competitiveness, supply-chain resilience, and materials efficiency; that submission window is closed, and its listed deadlines in 2025 and January 2026 have passed. The funding page says there are no current traditional funding opportunities and points to a New York State Waste Tire Program RFP. The 2023 RFP required project teams to provide 1:1 cost share. Deadline: The RFP 25-02 supplemental application deadline was January 21, 2026; this was a past deadline.
