Faculty-Student Team Research Fellowships are
awarded to undergraduates and an accompanying faculty member from
the same institution. The Team program is designed to provide unique research experiences
for faculty and students from four-year, tribal, and community colleges, as well as junior faculty at research
universities thereby
enhancing their undergraduate-based research efforts and gaining
fresh exposure to specific areas of materials research. Each team performs research
in a UMN MRSEC research group from Engineered Multiblock Polymers, Organic Optoelectronic Interfaces, Magnetic Heterostructures, and Nanoparticle-based Materials IRGs, or
one of the various MRSEC Seed groups.
As part of the program, faculty members of these teams also extend their
mentorship to the undergraduates in other teams, Native American fellows,
and the REU participants through participation in weekly meetings, informal group
sessions, and other aspects of the Summer Program.
