The purpose of this award is to broaden the scope and enhance the quality of the research and educational programs of the ERC for Advanced Engineering Fibers and Films at Clemson University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology by implementing a collaborative research program with the Interdisciplinary Research Center (IRC) in Polymer Science and Technology which represents a consortium of groups of polymer researchers at Universities of Leeds, Bradford, and Durham in UK. The long-range goal of the ERC is to produce software packages for new fiber and film formulation and processing design. The ERC's research is organized in three thrusts: Thrust 1, Computer-based product and process Development; Thrust 2, new Fiber and Film precursors; and Thrust 3, Advanced Fiber and Film Processes. The purpose of the proposed joint research is to facilitate the exchange of ideas and expertise between the Clemson/MIT REC and Bradford/Durham/Leeds IRC, and to accelerate through collaboration both the computational and experimental programs currently underway at each location. The primary mechanism for collaboration and technology transfer will be a series of extended visits by the ERC researchers to the Universities of Leeds, Bradford, and Durham. Each visit will be of three-month duration and will include travel by a faculty member and one graduate student or a post-doctoral researcher. Six such visits are planned over the course of the three-year duration of the grant Reciprocal visits by researchers at the University of Leeds are envisioned as part of the collaboration. Funding for reciprocal visits will be obtained from funding sources in UK.

该奖项的目的是通过与聚合物科学与技术跨学科研究中心（IRC）实施合作研究计划，扩大克莱姆森大学和马萨诸塞州理工学院先进工程纤维和薄膜ERC的研究和教育计划的范围并提高其质量。和英国的达勒姆。 ERC的长期目标是为新的纤维和薄膜配方和工艺设计开发软件包。 ERC的研究分为三个重点：重点1，基于计算机的产品和工艺开发;重点2，新的纤维和薄膜前体;重点3，先进的纤维和薄膜工艺。 拟议联合研究的目的是促进克莱姆森/麻省理工学院REC和布拉德福德/达勒姆/利兹IRC之间的思想和专业知识交流，并通过合作加速目前正在进行的计算和实验项目在每个地点。 合作和技术转让的主要机制将是ERC研究人员对利兹、布拉德福德和达勒姆大学进行一系列的长期访问。 每次访问将为期三个月，将包括一名教师和一名研究生或博士后研究员的旅行。 计划在赠款的三年期限内进行六次这样的访问。利兹大学的研究人员的互访被设想为合作的一部分。 互访的资金将从联合王国的资金来源获得。
