This Project Grant award, valued at $700,000.00 and awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to establish an interdisciplinary research and education partnership between the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) and Northwestern University (NU). Key products and services to be delivered under this PREM (Partnership for Research and Education in Materials) grant include: Conducting cutting-edge materials research in two focal areas: (i) functional mixed-dimensional heterostructures and (ii) bioinspired materials with adaptive functionality. This research will advance energy-efficient computing, neuromorphic devices, and biomedical applications. Providing unique research and educational opportunities, comprehensive student mentoring, and professional development programs to increase participation of underrepresented minority (URM) students in materials science and engineering careers. Establishing reciprocal faculty visits and exposure of students to the world-class research and facilities at NU. The partnership also includes participation from Grambling State University, a historically Black college and university (HBCU). This award aims to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise by supporting interdisciplinary materials research and enhancing educational pathways for URM students in these fields. Relevant sub-awards totaling over $700,000 have been planned for Northwestern University and Grambling State University to contribute their specialized expertise to this collaborative initiative.
