The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,590,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. The grant, with a period of performance from July 15, 2025 to June 30, 2028, supports the EPSCOR Graduate Fellowship Program (EGFP) to fund 10 graduate fellowships for students conducting research in engineering and materials science. The fellowship program provides stipends and cost-of-education allowances, and offers research and educational opportunities for the fellows to engage with industry and national laboratory partners. The central focus of the project is on experimental and computational research in areas such as plastics degradation, laser chemical vapor deposition, electrochemical synthesis, nanoparticle catalysis, machine learning, bioprinting, and porous storage materials. This project aims to increase the number of skilled scientists and engineers in fields relevant to energy, defense, transportation, and human health.
