Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Purpose: Expand the scientific and technological capabilities of Applicant's Specialized Center (CGRI), which will serve as a core test facility for graphene and graphene-like materials.
Activities to be performed:
- Establish a unified testing program within a core testing facility dedicated to graphene and similar materials.
- Acquire necessary equipment to expand these capabilities.
- Partner with national and international bodies, such as the International Organization for Standardization, American National Standards Institute, National Physical Laboratory, and NIST, to utilize the current and in-development testing and characterization guidelines to deliver complete solutions to end users.
Expected outcomes:
- Enhancement of the global competitiveness of U.S. industries.
- Ability to cater to the needs of local, regional, and national stakeholders of graphene and graphene-like materials, such as companies, state and federal agencies, and research institutions.
- Positive economic impact for Mississippi, the Southeast region, and the nation.
Intended beneficiaries:
- NIST: Graphene research is an important mission for NIST. A core testing facility for graphene and graphene-like materials that could facilitate bridging between science-based discovery at its highest level, i.e., nanoscience, and engineering applications and market would be beneficial.
- Mississippi: Enhance Mississippi's science and technology infrastructure, aid in the development and maintenance of a more robust science and technology workforce, and diversify and improve Mississippi's economy.
- Public: The core testing facility for graphene and graphene-like materials will bring about transformative technological innovations, enhancing the global competitiveness of U.S. industries, boosting the regional and national economy, and benefiting society overall. A hoped-for outcome is for innovations developed in the U.S. to be manufactured in the U.S.
Subrecipient activities: The recipient does intend to subaward funds.
