The University of Mississippi received a $464,898 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), awarded October 1, 2026, with completion targeted for September 30, 2029. This award renews the Ole Miss Nanoengineering Summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site, a 10-week residential program that hosts 10 undergraduate participants annually. The program delivers hands-on research experiences in nanoengineering through direct student engagement with faculty and graduate mentors on research projects focused on nanoparticle and nanodevice design and characterization, development of resource-efficient nanomaterials, and computational modeling of nanoscale systems using data-driven approaches. Beyond laboratory research, the program delivers professional development, science communication training, and K-12 outreach activities, with students conducting hands-on STEM demonstrations in local middle and high school classrooms. The REU Site is designed to recruit undergraduate participants from diverse academic institutions, geographic regions, and socioeconomic backgrounds, with particular emphasis on students with limited prior research opportunities. Through this comprehensive approach, the award supports workforce development in the interdisciplinary field of nanoengineering while strengthening regional and national pathways to graduate education and research careers in biotechnology, materials science, and emerging technology fields.
