HBCU-RISE for the Development and Study of Advanced Sensors and Sensor Materials

国家科学基金会向AAMU授予HBCU博士能力建设/RISE赠款，从2002年8月开始，为期三年。这一持续上升的趋势对物理学博士生的毕业产生了重大影响。AAMU政府全力支持这一计划的主题，为项目努力提供支持。本奖项进一步扩大传感器研究和教育，重点放在辐射、生物、温度和化学传感器上，其基础是在现有NSF赠款期间取得的一些成就。RISE项目支持AAMU研究和教育能力的发展。该奖项支持加强物理系研究生的研究培训和研究准备，并支持增加博士生和研究生的入学人数，特别是代表人数较少的少数民族。该项目的智力价值在于它对传感器发展的知识做出了贡献。RISE支持的研究和教育重点是辐射传感器、生物传感器、温度和化学传感器。该项目的更广泛影响在于扩大了在传感器研究领域为学生和教职员工提供的研究和教育机会。项目活动包括每年为HBCU和其他大学的本科生和教职员工举办为期一周的传感器研讨会/短期课程。这些研究领域将提供博士和硕士学位论文的主题，以及研究生的论文。

NSF granted a HBCU Doctoral Capacity Building/RISE grant to AAMU for three years starting in August 2002. The ongoing RISE has a significant impact in graduating doctoral students in physics. AAMU administration fully supports the theme of this program by contributing support toward project efforts. The present award further extends research and education in sensors with major emphasis on radiation, biological, temperature and chemical sensors, based on a number of achievements made during the existing NSF grant. The RISE project supports the development of research and educational capabilities of AAMU. This award supports enhancements in research training and research preparedness of graduate students in the physics department and on increasing the enrollment of doctoral students and graduates, particularly of underrepresented minorities.The intellectual merit of this project lies in its contribution to the knowledge about sensor development. RISE supported research and education focuses on Radiation Sensors, Biological Sensors, Temperature and Chemical Sensors. The broader impacts of this project lie in the expanded research and educational opportunities made available to students and faculty in the area of sensor research. Project activities include a yearly one-week workshop/short course on sensors for undergraduate students and faculty from HBCU's and other universities. These research areas will provide topics for Ph.D. and MS degree dissertations and thesis for graduate students.
