The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $121,252 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of Idaho, doing business as the University of Idaho, under the Division of Chemistry and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) program. This 3-year grant, awarded from April 2024 to March 2027, will support a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site focused on sustainability. The program will train 10 undergraduate students per summer in research areas such as sustainable chemical synthesis and usage, data analysis, chemical instrumentation, and the full lifecycle of chemical processes. Students will also receive training in responsible conduct, ethics, safety, and career development. The research will span topics like carbon materials for batteries, metal recycling, bioremediation, bioplastics, and additive manufacturing of bio-based products. This grant reflects NSF's mission to advance scientific knowledge and support STEM workforce development, particularly for students from community colleges and institutions with limited research opportunities.
