CCAM's JRF Program at UCI aims to enhance diversity in academia by developing a supportive cohort of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, promoting retention and success.

The NSF MRSEC's Materials Innovation Slam at UCI features Junior Research Fellows presenting pitches to enhance communication skills, with winners recognized at the Annual Symposium and videos shared online.

UCSD’s NSF MRSEC REU program offers summer research opportunities in materials science, emphasizing predictive assemblies and engineered living materials through interdisciplinary projects across five UCSD departments.

The LRSM fosters collaborations with industry, national labs, and academia, facilitating research partnerships, sample exchanges, joint publications, and the development of sponsored agreements, patents, and startups.

The NU-Materials Research Science and Engineering Center offers an interdisciplinary REU program focused on nanoscale materials, facilitating research projects and professional development for undergraduate students in science and engineering fields.

The LRSM, affiliated with NSF MRSEC, conducts extensive educational outreach programs for K-12, undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and the public, enhancing community engagement in materials research.

The Harvard REU program offers undergraduates interdisciplinary research projects, seminars, workshops on technical skills, networking, and presentations, aimed at encouraging graduate studies in STEM fields.

The MRL promotes industry collaboration through innovative research, outreach programs, and partnerships, significantly enhancing its research mission and development of materials science with economic impact.

NSF MRSEC engages the public through informal science outreach programs like museum exhibits, Physics with a Bang!, and the South Side Science Festival, promoting scientific concepts and appreciation.

The Center for Emergent Materials at Ohio State University focuses on interactions with industry and National Labs through scientist-to-scientist collaborations and through frequent events that provide opportunities for our students to interact with representatives of these companies and institutions.  One area of focus is on collaborations with researchers at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Wright-Patterson Air Force base in nearby Dayton, OH.  CEM has organized collaborations of nearby NSF MRSECs to hold Industry Days that attract a larger slate of industry and national lab reps than we are able to attract for a single center.  As a virtual event this is simpler to organize and much valued by students.
