This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). The Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Research Infrastructure for Science and Engineering (RISE) program supports the development of research capability at Historically Black Colleges and Universities that offer doctoral degrees in science and engineering disciplines. This project from Florida A&M University (FAMU) aims to integrate research and education in the chemistry and engineering of multifunctional materials to educate the next generation of STEM scientists in multifunctional materials, and to prepare students for careers in this emerging field. The project will produce novel devices and structures for a number of industries and federal agencies and at the same time increase student engagement at both the undergraduate and graduate level. The project is expected to play a key role in a new Materials Science and Engineering (MATSci) PhD program. The MATSci PhD program will bring together faculty from several departments to work collaboratively on materials-related issues. An institutional goal is to have Florida A&M University (FAMU) achieve Carnegie Research 1 status by 2030.The project aims to synthesize novel materials, characterize them, develop design rules for processing, and assemble them into devices using additive manufacturing. The project leverages previous investments, as well as existing collaborations with Dow Chemical Company and Air Force Research Labs, to bring together scientists from multiple departments to enhance FAMU’s ability to perform world-class research while increasing minority participation in STEM. In addition to the recruitment of students nationally, students will be recruited from Tallahassee and Hillsborough Community Colleges, providing a model for community college-university collaborations for the early engagement of community college students in cutting-edge research at universities and their successful and timely graduation. It is expected that the proposed work will increase research productivity of FAMU faculty, provide a more sustainable research infrastructure, and provide a model for student engagement, success, and graduation in STEM fields.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项是根据2021年《美国救援计划法》（公法117-2）全部或部分资助的。科学技术研究卓越研究中心历史上是黑人学院（HBCU）科学与工程学研究基础设施（RISE）计划，支持在历史悠久的黑人学院和大学提供科学和工程学科博士学位的研究能力的发展。该项目来自佛罗里达州A＆M大学（FAMU），旨在将多功能材料的化学和工程研究整合到多功能材料中的下一代STEM科学家的化学和工程中，并为学生在这个新兴领域的职业做好准备。该项目将为许多行业和联邦机构生产新颖的设备和结构，同时增加了本科和研究生层面的学生参与度。预计该项目将在新的材料科学与工程（MATSCI）博士计划中发挥关键作用。 MATSCI博士计划将使多个部门的教师聚集在与材料有关的问题上合作。一个机构的目标是让佛罗里达A＆M大学（FAMU）到2030年获得卡内基研究1的状态。该项目旨在合成新颖的材料，对它们进行表征，制定加工设计规则，并使用增材制造将它们组装到设备中。该项目利用先前的投资，以及与DOW Chemical Company和Air Force Research Labs的现有合作，将来自多个部门的科学家汇集在一起​​，以增强FAMU进行世界一流研究的能力，同时增加少数人参与STEM。除了在全国范围内招募学生外，还将从塔拉哈西（Tallahassee）和希尔斯伯勒社区学院（Hillsborough Community Colleges）招募学生，为社区大学 - 大学合作提供了模型，以使社区大学生在大学及其成功和及时研究生的尖端研究中的早期参与。预计拟议的工作将增加FAMU教师的研究产品，提供更可持续的研究基础设施，并为学生参与，成功和毕业在STEM领域提供模型。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响审查审查的审查标准来通过评估来通过评估来支持的。
