The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) Targeted Infusion Projects (TIP) support the development, implementation, and study of evidence-based innovative models and approaches for improving the preparation and success of HBCU undergraduate students so that they may pursue STEM graduate programs and/or careers. This project at the Fayetteville State University is intended to develop an Interdisciplinary Materials Science Graduate Certificate Program (IMS-GCP). The intent of the project is to provide undergraduate students at Fayetteville State University the opportunity to participate in collaborative research projects that will contribute to materials science knowledge, enhance the research capacity at Fayetteville State University and strengthen an existing collaboration with Tuskegee University. This TIP project has four goals: (1) to develop and implement IMS-GCP to strengthen undergraduate STEM education through a bridging approach with Tuskegee University (TU); (2) to enhance research and education infrastructure for materials research and education; (3) to increase student enrollment in IMS-GCP at FSU and number of FSU graduates to enter graduate programs at TU; and (4) to develop research capacities in two areas of polymers and biomaterials through research collaborations with TU. This project will be conducted collaboratively at two HBCUs. It will facilitate undergraduate career development so that undergraduates are better prepared for graduate studies or professional STEM careers. Faculty and students are supported to work collaboratively on mechanical and tribological properties of green polymers to develop natural, biodegradable, low-cost, and competitive new materials, which are expected to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.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.

历史上的黑人学院和大学本科生计划（HBCU-UP）有针对性的输液项目（TIP）支持开发，实施和基于证据的创新模式和方法的研究，以提高HBCU本科生的准备和成功，使他们可以追求STEM研究生课程和/或职业。费耶特维尔州立大学的这个项目旨在开发一个跨学科材料科学研究生证书课程（IMS-GCP）。该项目的目的是为费耶特维尔州立大学的本科生提供参与合作研究项目的机会，这些项目将有助于材料科学知识，提高费耶特维尔州立大学的研究能力，并加强与塔斯基吉大学的现有合作。 该TIP项目有四个目标：（1）通过与塔斯基吉大学（TU）的桥接方法，开发和实施IMS-GCP，以加强本科STEM教育;（2）加强材料研究和教育的研究和教育基础设施;（3）增加FSU IMS-GCP的学生入学人数和进入TU研究生课程的FSU毕业生人数;和（4）通过与TU的研究合作，发展聚合物和生物材料两个领域的研究能力。该项目将在两个HBCU合作开展。它将促进本科生的职业发展，使本科生更好地为研究生学习或专业STEM职业做好准备。支持教师和学生合作研究绿色聚合物的机械和摩擦学特性，开发天然、可生物降解、低成本和有竞争力的新材料，有望减少对化石燃料的依赖。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。
