The University of Louisville received a $390,790 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering under CFDA 47.041 (Engineering) effective September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029. The award funds a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site focused on converting solid waste into sustainable materials and chemicals. The program will engage 24 undergraduate students over three years (eight annually) in a 10-week summer research experience, with emphasis on converting lignocellulosic biomass, waste plastics, and rubber tires into sustainable materials and chemicals. Participants receive faculty-mentored, hands-on research training using the SODOTO (See One, Do One, Teach One) pedagogical framework. The grant supports four core objectives: building student understanding of waste-to-value science and its technological, social, and economic dimensions; developing research competencies through structured mentorship; strengthening critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills through use-inspired research projects; and preparing students for STEM careers in academia, industry, and government. Program deliverables include weekly research seminars, professional development workshops, and industrial site visits designed to equip undergraduate participants with technical skills and career awareness needed to contribute to a sustainable materials economy while addressing the gap in workforce training for waste conversion technologies.
