This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).Non-technical summary:The University of Central Florida (UCF) is one of the largest universities in the USA by enrollment and is also one of the largest Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) with 27,244 (38%) of Hispanic and African American students. It ranks 2nd amongst all institutions in bachelor’s degrees awarded to underrepresented minority (URM) students. The proposed PREM partnership between UCF and the University of Washington (UW) will develop a vibrant collaborative research and innovative education training program in materials, providing research and education opportunities to 15-20 URM graduate and undergraduate students. An interdisciplinary team of researchers from UCF and UW will deploy integrated theoretical and experimental approaches for the rapid discovery of advanced materials for quantum computing, low power electronics and new catalyst reactions in line with the vision set forth in the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI). Students will be co-mentored and will carry out research at both academic institutions. Exchange visits, conferences and workshops will be organized to benefit participating URM students and URM students from surrounding community colleges and universities. The PREM program will allow UCF to develop resources and infrastructure focused on accelerated emerging materials discovery while developing a long-lasting collaborative partnership with UW. The research results under the UCF-UW partnership will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals and conference presentations. Outreach efforts will be conducted via summer boot camp, a dedicated web portal, and social media platforms.Technical SummaryThe UCF-UW partnership envisions collaborative training of under-represented minority (URM) students in cutting edge research topics to make rapid discoveries related to materials synthesis, investigation and manipulation of new physical phenomena, and theory-guided pursuit of novel quantum materials and catalysts, closely aligned to the MGI. The partnership involves two interdisciplinary research groups (IRGs). In the first IRG, time and angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy will unravel ultrafast processes in new quantum materials including two-dimensi.onal (2D) van der Waals solids and 2D magnets. The key outcomes from this effort will reveal important dynamic processes in the femtosecond time scale and map this behavior across many different 2D materials. In the second IRG, various defects including point defects (e.g., oxygen vacancies) will be systematically introduced in catalyst materials to enable single site catalysts for low temperature CO/hydrocarbon oxidation and CO2 reduction. The key outcomes from this effort will lead to design rules for accelerated syntheses of stable, single-site heterogeneous catalyst materials. The unique syntheses, characterization and testing capabilities at UCF and world-class facilities at UW will jointly enable the exploration of the basic science of quantum and catalyst materials and provide unique opportunities for cross-fertilization of ideas, mentoring, and multidisciplinary training. The collaborative teams will hold research-focus group meetings via real-time video teleconferencing, summer internships and student exchange programs. Ultimately, this PREM program will make fundamental and rapid advances in materials research while enabling URM students to define a confident path towards their success in future professional endeavors in materials focused disciplinesThis 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.

该奖项全部或部分根据2021年美国救援计划法案（公法117-2）资助。非技术性总结：中央佛罗里达大学（UCF）是美国最大的大学之一，也是最大的西班牙裔服务机构（HSI）之一，有27，244名（38%）西班牙裔和非洲裔美国学生。它在授予代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生的学士学位的所有机构中排名第二。UCF和华盛顿大学（UW）之间拟议的PREM合作伙伴关系将开发一个充满活力的材料合作研究和创新教育培训计划，为15-20名URM研究生和本科生提供研究和教育机会。 来自UCF和UW的跨学科研究人员团队将部署集成的理论和实验方法，以快速发现用于量子计算，低功耗电子和新催化剂反应的先进材料，符合材料基因组计划（MGI）中提出的愿景。学生将共同指导，并将在两个学术机构开展研究。交流访问，会议和研讨会将组织受益于参与URM学生和URM学生从周围的社区学院和大学。PREM计划将允许UCF开发资源和基础设施，重点是加速新兴材料的发现，同时与UW建立长期的合作伙伴关系。UCF-UW合作伙伴关系下的研究成果将在同行评审期刊和会议报告中传播。UCF-UW合作伙伴关系设想在前沿研究课题中合作培训代表性不足的少数民族（URM）学生，以快速发现与材料合成相关的发现，新物理现象的调查和操纵，以及理论指导下的新型量子材料和催化剂的追求，与MGI密切相关。该伙伴关系涉及两个跨学科研究小组（IRG）。在第一个IRG中，时间和角度分辨光电子能谱将揭示新量子材料中的超快过程，包括二维（2D）货车德瓦尔斯固体和2D磁体。这项工作的关键成果将揭示飞秒时间尺度下的重要动态过程，并将这种行为映射到许多不同的2D材料中。在第二IRG中，包括点缺陷（例如，氧空位）将被系统地引入催化剂材料中以使单中心催化剂能够用于低温CO/烃氧化和CO2还原。这项工作的关键成果将导致设计规则，加速合成稳定的，单中心的非均相催化剂材料。UCF独特的合成，表征和测试能力以及UW的世界级设施将共同实现量子和催化剂材料基础科学的探索，并为思想，指导和多学科培训的交叉施肥提供独特的机会。合作团队将通过实时视频电话会议、暑期实习和学生交流计划举行研究重点小组会议。最终，该PREM计划将在材料研究方面取得根本性和快速的进步，同时使URM学生能够在材料重点学科的未来专业努力中确定一条成功的自信道路。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
