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.

该奖项全部或部分由《2021 年美国救援计划法案》（公法 117-2）资助，科学技术卓越研究中心 (CREST) 和历史黑人学院和大学 (HBCU) 研究基础设施。科学与工程 (RISE) 计划支持历史悠久的黑人学院和大学的研究能力发展，这些学院和大学提供科学和工程学科的博士学位。该项目来自佛罗里达农工大学 (FAMU)，旨在整合研究和工程。多功能材料化学和工程教育，以教育下一代 STEM 科学家了解多功能材料，并为学生在这一新兴领域的职业生涯做好准备。该项目将为许多行业和联邦机构以及其他地方生产新颖的设备和结构。同时提高本科生和研究生的学生参与度，该项目预计将在新的材料科学与工程 (MATSci) 博士项目中发挥关键作用。MATSci 博士项目将汇集多个院系的教师进行协作。与材料相关的问题。佛罗里达农工大学 (FAMU) 的目标是到 2030 年实现卡内基研究 1 地位。该项目旨在合成新型材料、表征它们、开发加工设计规则，并利用增材制造将它们组装成设备。以及与陶氏化学公司和空军研究实验室的现有合作，将多个部门的科学家聚集在一起，增强 FAMU 进行世界一流研究的能力，同时增加少数族裔对 STEM 的参与。学生将从塔拉哈西和希尔斯伯勒社区学院招募，为社区学院与大学的合作提供一个模式，使社区学院的学生尽早参与大学的前沿研究并顺利及时毕业。提高 FAMU 教师的研究生产力，提供更可持续的研究基础设施，并提供反映 STEM 领域学生参与、成功和毕业的模型。该奖项是 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值进行评估，被认为值得支持和更广泛的影响审查标准。
