This $1 million National Science Foundation project grant supports Florida A&M University's HBCU-RISE program to enhance research and education infrastructure in multifunctional materials. Funded under the NSF's Division of Human Resource Development and STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), the project aims to integrate research and education in chemistry and engineering of multifunctional materials. Key deliverables include developing a new Materials Science and Engineering Ph.D. program, synthesizing and characterizing novel materials, and establishing design rules and additive manufacturing capabilities for multifunctional material devices. The project is expected to increase research productivity and infrastructure at FAMU while recruiting more underrepresented students nationally and from partner community colleges into STEM fields. The three-year award period runs from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025 and supports FAMU's goals of achieving Research 1 status by 2030 and enhancing world-class research capabilities and minority participation in STEM.
