Partnership for Research and Education in Materials, PREM

The NSF PREM for Advancing Device Innovation through Inclusive Research and Education is a collaborative research and education partnership to advance knowledge and diversity in materials science. The partnership between three campuses of the University of Puerto Rico, Humacao (UPRH), Cayey (UPRC), Mayagüez (UPRM), and the University of Pennsylvania Materials Research Science & Engineering Center (PENN-MRSEC) sustains a successful collaboration that began in 1998 under the NSF CIRE program and has continued with PREM support since 2004. It will continue to create a transformative culture of research and education at UPR which serves as a local and national model for broadening participation in science.
