      LOOKING TOWARD THE 21ST CENTURY: OPPORTUNITIES IN FUNDAMENTAL 
            MATERIALS SCIENCES AT THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
      
                            Alan L. Dragoo
        Division of Materials Sciences, Office of Basic Energy Sciences
                 U.S. Department of Energy,  Washington, DC
                            
            The Department of Energy/Basic Energy Sciences/Division of
      Materials Sciences program supports a broad program of theoretical
      and experimental research on structure, properties, and phenomena
      to advance a fundamental understanding of materials relevant to the
      future energy needs of the United States.  The Division also
      supports the operation of major national user facilities, including
      light (x-ray) sources, neutron sources, and electron-beam
      microcharacterization centers for the characterization of material
      structures and properties often at the atomic scale.  Its research
      program is carried out at DOE National Laboratories and through
      grants, principally with university researchers. An introduction will
      given to the Department of Energy's National User Facilities and to
      the research program of the Division of Materials Sciences. The
      grant application process will be given be described.
