The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Undergraduate Education awarded a $270,000 Project Grant to Rice University on July 15, 2026, to establish and operate an REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) Site focused on Research and Leadership Enabling Advanced Discoveries (RLEAD) in Chemical Nanoscience through June 30, 2029. The award, funded under CFDA 47.076 (STEM Education), supports the recruitment and training of 10 undergraduate students annually for 10-week summer research experiences across three years (2027–2029). Participating students conduct collaborative research projects in chemical nanoscience and nanotechnology, including synthesis and assembly of nanomaterials, catalysis, nanoscale imaging, and supramolecular network studies using advanced techniques such as optical scanning tunneling microscopy. In addition to hands-on research, the program delivers comprehensive professional development and ethics training, leadership workshops, and science communication instruction to prepare students for graduate study and careers in high-demand sectors. The REU Site also facilitates networking through departmental and Gulf Coast-area research symposia. The program is jointly supported by the NSF Chemistry Section and the Department of Defense, with research aligned to national priorities in advanced manufacturing and semiconductor technologies. Through this initiative, Rice University develops a pipeline of STEM-trained undergraduates equipped to address critical workforce demands in microelectronics, materials science, and advanced manufacturing.Federal Grant Award Summary
