With support from the Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Research Infrastructure for Science and Engineering (RISE) program, Jackson State University will provide opportunities for underrepresented minority (URM) participants to become next generation STEM innovators through research and education on design of materials. The purposes of this project are to (a) significantly improve and expand the institution's research and educational capability on the 3D printing of nanocomposites and (b) to increase the number of URM students that join the next generation of US scientists. The project will provide minority participants from Jackson State University and other local K-12 schools the opportunity to acquire a comprehensive STEM education with components ranging from STEM research experiences to formal and informal lessons and conferences. Jackson State University interdisciplinary faculty mentors will collaborate on a research project pertaining to the rational design of 3D printable nanocomposites, which will provide tremendous benefit for society in terms of deploying next-generation devices. The research activities will include (i) designing new strategies for the development of next generation nanocomposite materials using nature-inspired peptides and (ii) development of 3D printed nature-inspired nanocomposites. The goals of this project also align well within the ongoing developmental plan of Jackson State University to become one of the region’s foremost centers on nanostructured materials manufacturing. The CREST HBCU-RISE awards support the development of research capability at Historically Black Colleges and Universities that offer doctoral degrees in science and engineering disciplines.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.

在历史悠久的黑人学院（HBCU）科学与工程研究基础设施（RISE）计划的科学技术研究中心（CREST）研究中心的支持下，杰克逊州立大学将通过对材料设计的研究和教育来为代表性不足的少数群体（URM）参与者提供机会，成为下一代STEM Innovators。该项目的目的是（a）在3D打印纳米复合材料以及（b）增加加入美国下一代美国科学家的URM学生人数上，显着改善和扩展机构的研究和教育能力。该项目将为杰克逊州立大学和其他K-12学校的少数群体参与者提供获得全面的STEM教育的机会，其组成部分从STEM研究经验到正式和非正式的课程和会议。杰克逊州立大学跨学科的教师导师将合作与3D可打印纳米复合材料的合理设计有关的研究项目，该项目将在部署下一代设备方面为社会带来巨大的好处。研究活动将包括（i）设计新的策略，以使用自然风格的胡椒粉制定下一代纳米复合材料，以及（ii）开发3D印刷自然风格的纳米复合材料。该项目的目标在杰克逊州立大学正在进行的发展计划中也很吻合，成为该地区最重要的纳米结构材料制造中心之一。 CREST HBCU-RISE奖项支持历史悠久的黑人学院和大学的研究能力发展，这些研究能力在科学和工程学科中提供博士学位。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来评估值得通过评估来支持的。
