The broad goal of this award is to enhance the materials science research and education program at California State University, Los Angeles (CSULA) by expanding the existing collaboration between the Center for the Science and Engineering of Materials (CSEM) at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). It focuses on developing highly trained undergraduate and master's students for careers in research via a comprehensive program involving scientific research, workshops and seminars, and faculty mentoring and advising. The program will be called the CSULA-Caltech Partnerships for Research and Education in Materials (PREM) Collaborative. The materials research emphasis will focus on the development and application of new materials. Specifically, they will focus on three research subprojects: 1. Solvent-Resistant Microfluidics.2. The Study of Drug Release Using the Self-Assembly of Fluoroalkyl-Ended Poly(ethylene glycol) by NMR Methods of Relaxation, Self-Diffusion and Microimaging.3. Ir and Pt Complexes Tethered to Nanoparticles as Singlet Oxygen Sensitizers and Quenchers.In terms of intellectual merit, this collaboration brings together well-qualified researchers with diverse interests in an interdisciplinary setting to examine materials science problems in a creative and novel approach. The facilities at CSULA and Caltech are sufficient to conduct the proposed work. In order to integrate more faculty from CSULA into the PREM program, a yearly SEED grant program is proposed. This program will be a competitive internal grants program and will provide funding for creative small research projects, student stipends and travel, and supplies. Faculty awarded funding will be eligible for continued funding throughout the duration of the PREM program. The educational program will consist of a student research program, research training workshops and scientific seminars, and academic advising and mentoring. Students will be designated as PREM fellows and will participate in the three research subprojects. Fellows will participate in yearlong workshops on topics such as careers in materials science and chemistry, conducting scientific research, and ethics in research. Students will be continually evaluated as to their academic progress and course advisement will occur prior to each quarter of instruction. A summer research experience for academically talented high schools students is also proposed in collaboration with three local minority high schools (Roosevelt, Garfield, and Wilson) with over 95% Latino enrollment.

该奖项的广泛目标是通过扩大加州理工学院（Caltech）材料科学与工程中心（CSEM）之间的现有合作，加强加州州立大学洛杉矶分校（CSULA）的材料科学研究和教育计划。 它的重点是通过涉及科学研究，研讨会和研讨会以及教师指导和建议的综合计划，培养训练有素的本科生和硕士生从事研究工作。该计划将被称为CSULA-Caltech材料研究和教育合作伙伴关系（PREM）。材料研究的重点将集中在新材料的开发和应用上。 具体来说，他们将集中在三个研究子项目：1。耐溶剂微流体。2.核磁共振弛豫、自扩散和显微成像等方法研究氟代聚乙二醇自组装体的药物释放. Ir和Pt配合物拴系到纳米粒子作为单线态氧敏化剂和淬灭剂。在智力价值方面，这项合作汇集了具有不同兴趣的合格研究人员，在跨学科环境中以创造性和新颖的方法研究材料科学问题。CSULA和加州理工学院的设施足以进行拟议的工作。 为了整合更多的教师从CSULA到PREM计划，每年种子补助金计划提出。该计划将是一个有竞争力的内部赠款计划，并将为创造性的小型研究项目，学生津贴和旅行以及用品提供资金。获得资助的教师将有资格在整个PREM计划期间继续获得资助。 教育计划将包括学生研究计划，研究培训讲习班和科学研讨会，以及学术咨询和指导。学生将被指定为PREM研究员，并将参加三个研究子项目。研究员将参加为期一年的研讨会，主题包括材料科学和化学职业，进行科学研究和研究伦理。学生将不断评估他们的学业进展和课程的完成将发生在每个季度的教学之前。一个学术天才的高中学生的暑期研究经验也提出了与三个当地少数民族高中（罗斯福，加菲猫，威尔逊）与超过95%的拉丁裔入学合作。
