Several RASEI Fellows and members of the NSF Science and Technology Center for Integration of Modern Optoelectronic Materials on Demand (IMOD) were involved in the development of successful proposals for NSF Partnerships for Research and Education in Materials (PREM) grants.

These grants will enable RASEI members to form closer partnerships with researchers at Fort Lewis College (Durango, CO), Norfolk State University (Norfolk, VA), and UC Merced (Merced, CA). These projects will expand participation, provide access to materials and facilities and provide support for training, research exchanges, meetings and workshops.

Two proposals were funded. The Venture for Innovation in Self-Assembly and Integration of Optoelectronic Nanostructures (VISION) focuses on a partnership between IMOD (which includes RASEI Fellows Seth Marder, Mike Toney, Gordana Dukovic, David Jonas and Matt Beard), and UC Merced. The Partnership for Education and Advancement of Quantum and nano-Sciences (PEAQS) brings together the IMOD team with researchers from Fort Lewis College and Norfolk State University.

While their scientific and technical foci are different, these collaborations have shared missions of developing programs that cultivate student potential in STEM, offering enriched research opportunities, interdisciplinary scientific collaborations, pedagogical development and inclusive mentoring.
