Simmons College, a predominantly undergraduate women's college, and the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center at Cornell University establish a partnership to develop opportunities for science students at Simmons to participate in materials-related research throughout their undergraduate careers. The overall thrust of the project focuses on establishing a collaborative Simmons/Cornell research program on organic electroluminescent materials that provides opportunities for students to work with faculty on timely research projects, have access to sophisticated instrumentation, and gain related work experience in industrial settings. Another goal of the project is to interest female undergraduates in participating in material research and to encourage them to consider further career explorations in this area. This project establishes a model relationship between a predominantly undergraduate institution and a large research university and its federally funded research Center. The undergraduate institution enhances its research efforts through increased access to collaborators and instrumentation at the large research university. The latter benefits from enhanced recruitment access to a talented pool of undergraduates and from opportunities for its graduate students to interact with undergraduate faculty and to consider a postgraduate career at an undergraduate institution.

西蒙斯学院是一所以本科为主的女子学院，与康奈尔大学的材料研究科学与工程中心建立了合作伙伴关系，为西蒙斯的理科学生提供机会，让他们在整个本科生涯中参与材料相关的研究。该项目的整体重点是建立一个合作的西蒙斯/康奈尔大学的有机电致发光材料的研究计划，为学生提供机会，及时与教师的研究项目，有机会获得先进的仪器，并获得相关的工作经验，在工业环境。该项目的另一个目标是引起女大学生参与材料研究的兴趣，并鼓励她们考虑在这一领域进行进一步的职业探索。该项目建立了一个以本科为主的机构和大型研究型大学及其联邦资助的研究中心之间的模式关系。本科机构通过增加与大型研究型大学的合作者和仪器的接触来加强其研究工作。后者受益于增加招聘机会，以获得有才华的本科生，并从机会，其研究生与本科教师互动，并考虑在本科院校的研究生生涯。
