Strategic Presentation: From Critical Materials Research to Domestic Supply Chain Resilience 

• Understanding the materials and technology gaps that create vulnerabilities in US critical minerals supply chains 

• Reducing reliance on scarce or strategically sensitive elements through material substitution and recycling 

• Advancing processing and materials innovation to strengthen domestic supply capabilities 

• Bridging the gap between national laboratory research and commercially viable industrial applications 

• Strengthening collaboration between research institutions, industry and government to accelerate deployment of critical materials solutions
