This NSF Project Grant Award under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $501,896 to Penn State University to operate an REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) Site focused on integrating biology and materials science in chemical engineering. Over 3 years from May 2025 to April 2028, the program will engage 10 students per year in a 10-week summer research experience. The program aims to recruit a diverse group of students, including those with limited prior research experience, and provide professional development in research skills, scientific communication, graduate school, and career opportunities. Students will conduct research projects at the biology-chemistry interface with applications to healthcare, energy, environmental remediation, and homeland security. The program seeks to promote scientific and professional growth, broaden participation in engineering, and develop the next generation of leaders in biomolecular materials research. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
