<p class="MsoNormal"><span style>As reported by Lewis-Burke, on March 9, President Obama announced a new $1 billion proposal for a National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI). As follow up to this announcement, please find attached a
document that summarizes the advanced manufacturing initiatives included in the President’s fiscal year (FY) 2013 budget request. Funding of these initiatives is dependent on congressional appropriations for FY 2013, but the information provided demonstrates
agency priorities and strategic priorities in advanced manufacturing. This document describes the breadth of advanced manufacturing initiatives across the Administration and should be used to assist faculty and groups thinking about advanced manufacturing
opportunities.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
