The Hampton-Brandeis PREM project, funded by NSF, promotes diversity in materials science through collaboration and research initiatives between Brandeis University and Hampton University.

Brandeis University has launched K-12 initiatives to enhance materials research awareness, including monthly "Science Pizza Talks" where scientists share experiences with Waltham High School students.

PCCM hosts K-12 outreach visits, engaging high school and middle school students with hands-on experiences in quantum research and engineering, showcasing facilities and demonstrations led by Princeton faculty and graduate students.

The SMURF program, sponsored by Brandeis MRSEC, offers competitive undergraduate research fellowships, providing $6,000 stipends and requiring mentorship, full-time research, and presentation commitments.

The Texas State Center for Intelligent Materials Assembly (CIMA) received an NSF PREM grant to enhance diversity in materials research, focusing on advanced materials for biomedical, energy, and environmental applications.

The CRiSP at UD MRSEC fosters collaborative research in polymers and soft materials, aiming for global leadership in next-generation materials, supported by renowned faculty and industry partnerships.

The CDCM's Arts+Sciences project integrates artists into research, fostering public engagement and innovative thinking in materials science through artistic installations and collaborations with resident artists.

PUMA, from PCCM, offers high school students an inquiry-based materials science program at Princeton, featuring hands-on labs, project-based learning, and faculty interaction, with annually varied curricula.

The Wisconsin MRSEC provides cutting-edge research experiences for off-campus undergraduate students through a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU). The primary goal of the REU program is to broaden participation of students who are traditionally underrepresented in science and engineering fields.

The K-12 Material Science Lesson Plans project provides various downloadable classroom demonstrations and laboratory activities focusing on properties, structures, and applications of materials, hosted by the University of Washington's MEM-C.
