The goal of the Partnership for Education and Research in Materials (PREM) between Jackson State University (JSU) and the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) is to establish a permanent and collaborative research environment and educational structure in the area of materials science. A well-defined target is to increase recruitment, retention and degree attainment of JSU students-especially in doctoral degree programs. This PREM proposal will build upon an existing and growing relationship between JSU and the UCSB. One of the most exciting and outstanding features of the PREM is the development of a truly synergistic relationship between Jackson State and UCSB. As a result, the impact of the PREM on the MRL at UCSB and the greater UCSB campus will be as great as the PREM's impact on the developing area of materials research at JSU. The PREM will allow JSU to become a leader in materials research, while at the same time establishing strong educational ties between JSU and UCSB. In terms of human resources, the PREM program will provide an opportunity for the Materials Research Laboratory at UCSB to engage with some of the best minority students in the country and through exposure to the research and teaching environment at UCSB, inspire the students to doctoral degrees in Materials with the majority of them selecting UCSB for their studies. The materials research objective will focus on the development and application of new materials. Specifically, they will focus on three research subprojects that are characterized by cutting-edge world-class research and a highly collaborative research environment between JSU and UCSB. The mission of this proposal is to develop 1) organic semiconductors based on small molecules or conjugated polymers which are extremely promising materials for many types of applications, ranging from electronic circuitry to flexible displays, and from solar cells to biological and chemical sensors, 2) optical nanosystem using LIF technique at the nano-bio interface to detect DNA damage, RNA interaction and modification of nucleic acid bases. The proposed research is of fundamental scientific interest as well as a crucial component in the development of state-of-the-art devices and sensors.Critical to the success of this PREM will be the establishment of infrastructure for the education, training and mentoring of minority students and postdoctoral fellows through formal course, workshops and laboratory rotations. The spectrum of activities planned in this collaborative proposal include development of a Two-year Masters program at JSU which a strong focus in Materials that effortlessly bridges to the established collaborations to UCSB doctoral programs in Materials. Establishment of a collaborative undergraduate Materials Science Interns program as well as active and hands-on undergraduate and graduate courses to prepare minority students for future generation scientist will also be a major focus. This PREM proposal will also play an important role in the larger framework of the JSU College of Science, Engineering, and Technology by attracting students from School of Engineering and other departments and by promoting inter-departmental collaboration between faculty members.

杰克逊州立大学（JSU）和加利福尼亚大学圣塔芭芭拉分校（UCSB）之间的材料教育和研究合作伙伴关系的目标是在材料科学领域建立永久和协作的研究环境和教育结构。 定义明确的目标是增加JSU学生的招聘，保留和学位，尤其是在博士学位课程中。 此Prem提案将建立在JSU与UCSB之间的现有和不断增长的关系的基础上。 PREM的最令人兴奋和最杰出的功能之一是杰克逊州立大学和UCSB之间真正协同关系的发展。 结果，PER对UCSB和更大的UCSB校园的MRL的影响与PREM对JSU材料研究发展领域的影响一样大。 PREM将允许JSU成为材料研究的领导者，同时在JSU和UCSB之间建立牢固的教育关系。 在人力资源方面，PREM计划将为UCSB的材料研究实验室提供机会与该国一些最好的少数群体学生互动，并通过接触UCSB的研究和教学环境，激发学生在材料上的博士学位，其中大多数人为他们的研究选择UCSB。 材料研究目标将集中于新材料的开发和应用。 具体而言，他们将重点关注三个研究子项目，这些项目以最先进的世界一流研究以及JSU和UCSB之间的高度协作研究环境为特征。 The mission of this proposal is to develop 1) organic semiconductors based on small molecules or conjugated polymers which are extremely promising materials for many types of applications, ranging from electronic circuitry to flexible displays, and from solar cells to biological and chemical sensors, 2) optical nanosystem using LIF technique at the nano-bio interface to detect DNA damage, RNA interaction and modification of nucleic acid bases. 拟议的研究具有基本的科学兴趣，以及最先进的设备和传感器开发的关键组成部分。至关重要的是，通过正式课程，工作室和实验室轮班，建立了基础架构，以建立基础架构，以建立少数民族学生和少数族裔学生以及培训和指导的少数族裔学生和博士后。 该协作建议计划中计划的各种活动包括在JSU开发了为期两年的硕士课程，该计划的重点是毫不费力地桥接与材料中UCSB博士学位课程的既定合作。 建立合作的本科材料科学实习生计划，以及活跃的和动手的本科和研究生课程，以使少数民族学生为未来的科学家做好准备。 通过吸引工程学和其他部门的学生，通过促进教职员工之间的跨部门合作，这项Prem提案还将在JSU科学，工程和技术的更大框架中发挥重要作用。
