Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The U.S. National Science Foundation is announcing $50 million in Partnerships for Research and Education in Materials (PREM) awards to 15 collaborative research projects nationwide to expand participation and access to materials science-focused facilities, education, training and careers.

NSF is investing over $50 million in total, which includes awards of over $4 million each to 11 partnering institutions over six years and $1 million in seed funding to each of four additional institutions over three years.

“Supporting the scientific talent present in every community in our country is imperative to strengthening the nation’s materials research infrastructure, which is central to everything from semiconductors to medical implants,” said NSF Director Sethuraman Panchanathan. “NSF is dedicated to empowering everyone who wants to shape our scientific future for the benefit of their communities and the U.S. research community at large.”

Since 2004, the NSF PREM program has broadened access to materials science-focused skills and opportunities by supporting strategic partnerships between minority-serving institutions and NSF-funded research centers and facilities at research-intensive institutions.

In addition to fundamental materials research projects, the new PREM awards will support specialized training and mentorship for students and early-career researchers, new research faculty positions, expanded educational outreach to local high school students and teachers, and other activities to build pathways for the future materials research workforce. Six awards are to institutions located in states that receive less federal funding than others and participate in the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research.

The 2024 PREM awardees: 

Partnership for Education and Advancement of Quantum and nano-Sciences at Fort Lewis College and Norfolk State University, in partnership with the Science and Technology Center for Integration of Modern Optoelectronic Materials on Demand at the University of Washington, will directly support over 80 undergraduate and high school students at Fort Lewis College, a non-tribal Native American-serving institution in Durango, Colorado, and Norfolk State University, a historically Black university in Virginia. Research focus: quantum-level material properties with potential applications in materials fabrication and nanoscale devices such as nanotherapeutics for biomedical purposes. 

Partnership for Research and Education in Materials Science at Jackson State University (JSU), in partnership with the NSF Materials Research Science and Engineering Center at the University of California, Santa Barbara, will provide participants from JSU and other local Mississippi universities, community colleges and K-12 schools the chance to gain a comprehensive STEM education through materials research and the chance to participate in conferences with world-renowned scientists and nano-exhibitions. Research focus: innovative material research with applications in secure communications, environmental sustainability, transportation and communication.

Partnership for Research and Education in Innovative Composite Materials at Xavier University of Louisiana, in partnership with the NSF Materials Research Science and Engineering Center at the University of Chicago, will fund programming for K-12 academic enrichment in materials science and pathways for Xavier undergraduates to pursue doctorates in materials science and engineering.
