CREST Bioenergy CenterThe Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) program supports the enhancement of research capabilities of minority-serving institutions through the establishment of centers that effectively integrate education and research. CREST promotes the development of new knowledge, enhancements of the research productivity of individual faculty, and an expanded presence of students historically underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. With CREST program support, North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University will further develop its Bioenergy Center into a sustainable national interdisciplinary center for transformative bioenergy research and technology development, and for the professional development of underrepresented minority students and faculty. Partner institutions include the State University of New York at Stony Brook, Louisiana Tech University, Guildford/Alamance Technical Community Colleges, industry and National Laboratories. Center research will advance bioenergy science and contribute to bioenergy technology commercialization. Center research will also accelerate the transition to lower net-carbon energy systems with their environmental and public health benefits.The Center articulates three research thrusts: (1) Biomass Gasification and Syngas Upgrading via Chemical Looping Technology; (2) Nanocatalyst for Fisher-Tropsch Synthesis using CO2-rich Syngas and H2 production from Bioderived Liquids; and (3) Electrocatalysts and Membranes Development for Fuel Cell Technology. The aim of the research thrusts is to gain fundamental understanding of the thermochemical conversion of biomass to bioenergy and biofuel. The Center will enhance STEM research and education at North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University, produce new knowledge, strengthen the research competitiveness of faculty and promote interdisciplinary collaborations within North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University and with partner institutions. Center activities will enhance the research and development enterprise and infrastructure at North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University, making it nationally competitive in the field of bioenergy. Students, traditionally underrepresented in the STEM disciplines, will be provided with meaningful research experiences at a readily accessible advanced research facility. Center activities will emphasize the recruitment of community college students.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

科学技术卓越研究中心（CREST）计划通过建立有效整合教育和研究的中心，支持提高为少数民族服务的机构的研究能力。CREST促进了新知识的发展，提高了个别教师的研究生产力，扩大了在科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）学科中历史上代表性不足的学生的存在。在CREST项目的支持下，北卡罗来纳农业技术州立大学将进一步将其生物能源中心发展成为一个可持续的国家跨学科中心，以进行变革性的生物能源研究和技术开发，并为未被充分代表的少数民族学生和教师提供专业发展。合作机构包括纽约州立大学石溪分校、路易斯安那理工大学、吉尔福德/阿拉芒斯技术社区学院、工业和国家实验室。中心的研究将推动生物能源科学，并为生物能源技术的商业化做出贡献。中心的研究还将加速向低净碳能源系统的过渡，并带来环境和公共健康效益。中心明确了三个研究重点：(1)生物质气化和合成气化学循环技术升级；(2)富co2合成气和生物衍生液制氢费托合成纳米催化剂；(3)燃料电池技术的电催化剂和膜开发。研究重点的目的是获得对生物质到生物能源和生物燃料的热化学转化的基本理解。该中心将加强北卡罗莱纳州农业技术州立大学的STEM研究和教育，产生新知识，加强教师的研究竞争力，促进北卡罗莱纳州农业技术州立大学及其合作机构的跨学科合作。中心的活动将加强北卡罗来纳农业技术州立大学的研发企业和基础设施，使其在生物能源领域具有全国竞争力。传统上在STEM学科中代表性不足的学生将在一个容易接近的先进研究设施中获得有意义的研究经验。中心活动将着重招收社区大学生。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
