BROADENING PARTICIPATION IN THE 2023 ELECTRONIC MATERIALS CONFERENCE -THE ELECTRONIC MATERIALS CONFERENCE (EMC) IS A PREMIER ANNUAL FORUM FOR THE PRESENTATION AND DISSEMINATION OF RESEARCH FOCUSED ON THE PREPARATION, GROWTH, CHARACTERIZATION, AND USE OF ELECTRONIC MATERIALS. EMC TALKS, A MAJORITY OF WHICH ARE GIVEN BY STUDENTS, PRESENT CUTTING-EDGE RESEARCH IN A WIDE RANGE OF FIELDS, INCLUDING SOLAR ENERGY MATERIALS, METAMATERIALS AND PLASMONICS, QUANTUM STRUCTURES, ELECTRICAL AND OPTICAL CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES, WIDE BANDGAP AND NARROW BANDGAP MATERIALS, NANOCOMPOSITES, 2D MATERIALS, AND MANY OTHERS. THE DESIGN, GROWTH AND SYNTHESIS, DEVELOPMENT, AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ELECTRONIC MATERIALS ARE CENTRAL TO A WIDE RANGE OF SCIENTIFIC FIELDS, FROM QUANTUM SENSING, COMMUNICATION, AND COMPUTATION TO RENEWABLE ENERGY, OPTICAL COMMUNICATION AND SENSING, DATA STORAGE, POWER SYSTEMS, AND NANO-ELECTRONICS. EMC PROVIDES A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR RESEARCHERS FROM ACADEMIA, GOVERNMENT LABS, AND INDUSTRY TO MEET AND SHARE THE LATEST CUTTING-EDGE RESULTS ACROSS THESE BROAD RANGE OF FIELDS. WHILE CURRENTLY DRAWING FROM A BROAD RANGE OF DISCIPLINES AND INSTITUTIONS, EMC IS LOOKING TO BROADEN PARTICIPATION OF SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS FROM MINORITY SERVING INSTITUTIONS (MSIS), INCLUDING HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES (HBCUS). THIS PROPOSAL AIMS TO BROADEN PARTICIPATION IN THE ELECTRONIC MATERIALS CONFERENCE BY FORGING CLOSE, SUSTAINABLE TIES WITH MSIS, THROUGH THE NSF PARTNERSHIPS FOR RESEARCH AND EDUCATION IN MATERIALS (PREM) PROGRAM, IN ORDER TO BUILD A MORE DIVERSE EMC. THE PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO BROADEN PARTICIPATION IN EMC BY BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EMC AND PREM, AS WELL AS ELECTRONIC MATERIALS RESEARCH GROUPS AT MSIS. THE PROPOSED EFFORT WILL: (I) INCREASE THE BREADTH OF RESEARCH PRESENTED AT EMC, PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR DISSEMINATION OF RESEARCH RESULTS FROM MSIS AT AN IMPACTFUL FORUM FOR ELECTRONIC MATERIALS RESEARCH; (II) OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR NETWORKING AND THE BUILDING OF COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH EFFORTS BETWEEN MSI RESEARCHERS AND EMC ATTENDEES, FOSTERING NEW RESEARCH EFFORTS AND DIRECTIONS; AND (III) STRENGTHEN THE EMC BY BROADENING PARTICIPATION IN THE ELECTED EMC ORGANIZING COMMITTEE AND POOL OF INVITED ORGANIZERS. THE PROPOSED EFFORT WILL FOCUS ON BRINGING RESEARCHERS FROM MSIS INTO THE EMC FOLD, BOTH AS ATTENDEES AND PRESENTERS, BUT ALSO AS INVITED ORGANIZERS AND MEMBERS OF THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE. THERE WILL ALSO BE A FOCUS ON REACHING OUT TO UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCHERS AT MSIS, IN ORDER TO EXPOSE THESE STUDENTS TO A BROAD RANGE OF CUTTING-EDGE MATERIALS RESEARCH, INSPIRE THESE STUDENTS TO CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION AT THE GRADUATE LEVEL, AND THUS STRENGTHEN THE STEM PIPELINE FOR UNDER-REPRESENTED POPULATIONS. THE PROGRAM WILL REIMBURSE EMC REGISTRATION FEES FOR ATTENDEES AND PARTICIPANTS FROM MSIS AND PREM INSTITUTIONS AND WILL LOOK TO SUPPORT TRAVEL AND LODGING EXPENSES FOR ?TEAMS? OF EMC ATTENDEES FROM THESE INSTITUTIONS. SUCCESS WILL BE MEASURED BY TRACKING ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION BY MSI AND PREM ATTENDEES, AS WELL AS WITH A POST-CONFERENCE SURVEY TO DETERMINE ADJUSTMENTS TO EMC THAT WILL FURTHER HELP TO BROADEN PARTICIPATION. 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.

BEYOND NANO, CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN DRUG DELIVERY - ABSTRACT THE BEYOND NANO, CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN DRUG DELIVERY SYMPOSIUM IS ONE OF THE SOFT MATERIALS AND BIOMATERIALS SYMPOSIUM CLUSTERS OF THE 2021 MRS SPRING MEETING & EXHIBIT, TO BE HELD ON APRIL 18-23, 2021, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. THE THEME OF THE BEYOND NANO, CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN DRUG DELIVERY SYMPOSIUM IS THE REFLECTION ON NANO-/CANCER-CENTRIC DRUG DELIVERY RESEARCH THAT HAS DRIVEN THE FIELD IN PAST TWO DECADES AND THE EXPLORATION OF NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN DRUG DELIVERY TECHNOLOGIES WITH A SPECIFIC FOCUS ON A MATERIALS SCIENCE PERSPECTIVE. THE MRS MEETING IS A UNIQUE FORUM FOR SCIENTISTS AT ALL LEVELS, FROM EMINENT EXPERTS TO YOUNG SCIENTISTS, IN MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES RELATED TO MATERIALS SCIENCE, INCLUDING CHEMISTRY, ENGINEERING, AND OTHER APPLIED SCIENCES. THE MRS SOFT MATERIALS AND BIOMATERIALS SYMPOSIA HISTORICALLY ATTRACTED THE AUDIENCE IN THE FIELD OF DRUG DELIVERY AND TISSUE ENGINEERING WITH TOPICS RELATED TO CUTTING-EDGE BIOMEDICAL PRODUCTS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS SYMPOSIUM IS TO PROVIDE A FORUM FOR INVESTIGATORS AT ALL LEVELS IN ALLIED DISCIPLINES INCLUDING MATERIAL SCIENTISTS, CHEMISTS, ENGINEERS, AND PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENTISTS AND HELP THEM TO SHARE THE LESSONS LEARNED TO DATE, DISCUSS THE CHALLENGES AND INNOVATION IN MATERIALS SCIENCE IN OVERCOMING CURRENT BOTTLENECKS IN DRUG DELIVERY, AND CULTIVATE NEW OPPORTUNITIES THAT CAN BENEFIT FROM THE ADVANCES IN NANOMEDICINE. THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE CONSISTS OF FOUR EXPERTS IN DRUG DELIVERY FIELD ACROSS THE GLOBE: PROF. YOON YEO OF PURDUE UNIVERSITY (USA) CHAIRS THE SYMPOSIUM, AND PROFS. PATRICK STAYTON OF UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON (USA), YOUQING SHEN OF ZHEJIANG UNIVERSITY (CHINA), AND YOSI SHAMAY (ISRAEL) SERVE AS CO-CHAIRS TO PLAN, ORGANIZE, AND MODERATE ACTIVITIES OF THE SYMPOSIUM. THE COMMITTEE HAS IDENTIFIED SIX THRUST AREAS OF FUNDAMENTAL AND CURRENT INTEREST IN DRUG DELIVERY FIELD: (I) MACHINE LEARNING FOR DRUG DELIVERY DESIGN; (II) NANOMEDICINE; (III) BIOINSPIRED MATERIALS FOR DRUG DELIVERY; (IV) LOCAL DRUG DELIVERY; (V) DRUG DELIVERY FOR GLOBAL HEALTH; AND (VI) BIOMATERIALS AND DRUG DELIVERY FOR IMMUNOTHERAPY; AND CONFIRMED THE PARTICIPATION OF TWENTY-THREE LEADERS AND RISING STARS AS INVITED SPEAKERS. WE PLAN TO ACHIEVE THREE SPECIFIC AIMS THROUGH THE BEYOND NANO, CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN DRUG DELIVERY SYMPOSIUM: AIM 1. CRITICALLY REFLECT ON THE ADVANCES AND CHALLENGES IN CORE FIELDS OF DRUG DELIVERY; AIM 2. DISCUSS THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN MATERIALS SCIENCE ON EMERGING FIELDS OF DRUG DELIVERY; AIM 3. PROVIDE A STIMULATING AND DYNAMIC CONVENTION TO ENGAGE AND INSPIRE EARLY-CAREER SCIENTISTS. THE NIH SYMPOSIUM SUPPORT IS BEING SOUGHT TO SUPPORT REGISTRATION FEES AND TRAVEL EXPENSES FOR INVITED SPEAKERS AND YOUNG INVESTIGATORS, PRIORITIZING (I) EARLY-CAREER INVITED SPEAKERS, AND (II) GRADUATE STUDENTS, POST-DOCTORAL TRAINEES, AND YOUNG INVESTIGATORS, INCLUDING MEMBERS OF UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITY GROUPS.
