  3. Triangle Center – Duke University, NC State University and the University of North • Carolina Chapel Hill – Programmable Assembly of Soft Matter - build on • knowledge from nature – colloidal assembly and syntactomers. • University of Utah – Next Generation Materials for Plasmonics and Spintronics– • plasmonics and spintronics with focus on organics. • University of Michigan – Center for Photonic and Multiscale Nanomaterials – • develop novel multiscale materials for nanophotonics including wide bandgap • nanostructured materials and metamaterials. • In addition – six MRSECs successfully re-competed with new science. New MRSECs and MIRTs- 2011 Competition • Columbia University MIRT -Building Functional Nanoarchitectures in van der Waals Materials • University of Texas at Austin MIRT - Exploring Unusual Properties of Transition Metal Oxides • University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill MIRT - Stressed Polymers - Exploiting Tension in Soft Matter http://nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=12153620

  4. 2012 PREM competition • Solicitation NSF 11-562. • Changes to solicitation: • Eligible institutions are minority serving institutions only. • Re-competing PREMs must include statement of "Broadening Participation Strategy and Results” and Broadening Participation Results Tables. • Cost sharing is no longer allowed - institutional support of the PREM now covered under “Facilities, Equipment and Other Resources”, not letters of support. • Proposals submitted 10/25/2011. • Proposals will be reviewed in early 2012. • Anticipate funding decisions in time to have a summer program in 2012.

  5. Annual Reports • Executive Summaries – • Present the most important achievements of the PREM for the year. • 2 page “Elevator Pitch” – major accomplishment/finding in the research, building the pipeline, and education/outreach activities. • Research Accomplishments and Plans – • What was accomplished (not detailed list of experiments). • Why it was done, i.e. the motivation. • What ‘s next. • Highlights – • Much better this year! Thank you for the hard work and effort.

  6. Publication Reporting Requirements

  7. Tell Us Your Successes in a Timely Manner! • High Impact Publications (Nature, Science, etc), News coverage, etc. • 3+ weeks notice before publication. • UTSA PREM publication chosen for journal cover art-work. • NSF did a feature story on the publication through LiveScience. • Story is being picked up by ‘Light Years - CNN.com Blogs’.
