The National Science Foundation Division of Engineering Education and Centers awarded a $232,485 Project Grant to the University of Mississippi under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant will establish a three-year Nanoengineering Summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates program, immersing ten students annually in interdisciplinary nanotechnology research across three focus areas: nanobiotechnology, sustainable nanoengineering, and computational nanoengineering. The program aims to advance nanotechnology research in Mississippi and the Southeast through student research collaborations and contribute solutions to major societal challenges in health, energy, and manufacturing. It also seeks to develop a diverse future STEM workforce and engage underrepresented students through innovative research training, educational seminars, mentorship, and fellowship application preparation. The program is jointly funded by NSF's Division of Engineering Education and Centers and Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research and will run from May 1, 2022 through April 30, 2025.
