Federal Grant Award Summary The Colorado School of Mines received a $538,427 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) awarded May 1, 2026, with a completion date of April 30, 2029. This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site award funds the development and delivery of an intensive undergraduate research training program focused on integrating computational and experimental approaches in materials science and data analytics. The program actively recruits students from community colleges and primarily undergraduate institutions with limited research opportunities, providing formal instruction, hands-on laboratory work, engagement with data-intensive facilities and industry partners, and professional development in scientific communication and identity. The core products and services delivered through this award include structured research projects spanning diverse materials applications—including porous materials for separations, battery materials discovery, and multiferroic and quantum materials for next-generation computing—with emphasis on materials genome initiatives and large-scale materials science dataset generation, curation, and analysis. Training integrates interdisciplinary collaboration with faculty from multiple departments, graduate students, national laboratories, and industry partners. The program culminates in peer-reviewed professional development, with students preparing posters and presentations for national conferences, thereby building both technical competencies and professional skills essential to developing the next generation of materials science and data analytics specialists.
