The Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) program provides support to enhance the research capabilities of minority-serving institutions through the establishment of centers that effectively integrate education and research. With National Science Foundation support, Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) will build on the accomplishments of their Phase I Center by broadening the research scope of the CREST Phase II Center for Energy and Environmental Sustainability research and further integrating energy-related education, outreach, and research. Phase II Center research is organized around three subprojects: bioenergy, wind energy, and environmental sustainability.Phase II Center research addresses questions that are important to reducing energy-related carbon dioxide emissions, increasing the sustainability of fossil fuel energy sources, and improving the technological efficiency of bioenergy and offshore wind energy. The bioenergy subproject concerns the production of bioenergy feedstock irrigated with treated produced water from fracking operations and generation of hydrocarbon fuels from that feedstock. The Offshore Wind Energy subproject seeks improvement of the feasibility and reliability of massive offshore energy generation. The Environmental Sustainability subproject focus is on process engineering and stochastic methods to enhance the sustainability of fossil fuel energy sources, and life cycle assessment.PVAMU is a Historically Black University with an established record of preparing underrepresented minority students, particularly African Americans, for STEM careers, including advanced degrees The Phase II CREST will strengthen that capability by: (1) positioning PVAMU's renewable energy program as a national resource addressing global energy issues related to renewable energy and sustainability; (2) Improving institutional infrastructure; professionally developing key personnel, and sustainability; (3) expanding collaborations with the energy industry; and (4) Enhancing the preparedness of students and building a diverse workforce. Curriculum and engagement components, including a new energy engineering curriculum at the undergraduate level and an energy concentration at the Master's level will impact hundreds of PVAMU students. The Center will provide energy-related research opportunities for 63 undergraduate and 20 graduate 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.

科学和技术卓越研究中心（CREST）计划通过建立有效整合教育和研究的中心，为提高为少数群体服务的机构的研究能力提供支持。在国家科学基金会的支持下，Prairie View AM University（PVAMU）将在其第一阶段中心的成就基础上，扩大CREST第二阶段能源和环境可持续性研究中心的研究范围，并进一步整合能源相关的教育，推广和研究。第二阶段中心的研究围绕三个子项目组织：生物能源，风能和环境可持续性。第二阶段中心的研究解决了减少与能源相关的二氧化碳排放，增加化石燃料能源的可持续性以及提高生物能源和海上风能的技术效率的重要问题。生物能源子项目涉及用水力压裂作业产生的经处理的采出水灌溉的生物能源原料的生产，以及用该原料生产碳氢化合物燃料。 海上风能子项目旨在提高大规模海上发电的可行性和可靠性。环境可持续性子项目的重点是过程工程和随机方法，以提高化石燃料能源的可持续性，和生命周期评估。PVAMU是一所历史悠久的黑人大学，在为代表性不足的少数民族学生，特别是非洲裔美国人，准备STEM职业生涯，包括高级学位方面有着良好的记录。（1）将PVAMU的可再生能源计划定位为解决与可再生能源和可持续性相关的全球能源问题的国家资源;（2）改善机构基础设施;专业发展关键人员和可持续性;（3）扩大与能源行业的合作;（4）加强学生的准备工作，建立多元化的劳动力队伍。课程和参与组件，包括在本科水平的新能源工程课程和在硕士水平的能源浓度将影响数百名PVAMU学生。该中心将为63名本科生和20名研究生提供与能源相关的研究机会。该奖项反映了NSF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。
