This Project Grant award of $600,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will support a three-year Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site focused on sustainable polymer engineering research at the University of Southern Mississippi (USM).

The RET Site will immerse 10 local high school and community college teachers per year in state-of-the-art polymer research at USM. Teachers will collaborate with faculty on fundamental materials research projects addressing critical societal needs, such as reducing plastic pollution in the Gulf of Mexico, developing renewable polymers, and designing recyclable and degradable materials. Participants will gain hands-on experience in experimental design, data collection, and analysis, and will have opportunities to publish and present their findings. The project will also develop research-based curriculum modules aligned with state and national education standards for implementation in the teachers' classrooms. This award aims to enhance STEM education and workforce development in the region by engaging underserved student populations through their teachers' involvement in cutting-edge polymer engineering research.
