About PREM
Mission
The mission of the Partnership for Research and Education in Materials (PREM) program is to increase diversity in materials research by identifying students interested in pursuing research as a career and by providing high-quality research opportunities and extensive mentorship for these students. All activities are in close partnership with the Center for Emergent Materials at The Ohio State University (OSU). The PREM will provide participants with cutting-edge research opportunities in materials science and prepare them to be competitive for entering graduate programs and careers in industry.
Pipeline
The partnership between California State University, Long Beach and The Ohio State University is outlined below.
Pipeline for material science students supported through the PREM project. LA basin high school and community college students flow into the CSULB undergraduate population. The CSULB undergraduate population flows into the OSU Ph.D. program through the CEM REU or through the Bridge program. Additionally, other undergraduate students flow into the CSULB Bridge or CSULB Masters programs. Finally, students in the CSULB Bridge or CSULB Masters programs flow into the OSU Ph.D. program or into other Ph.D. programs.
The Partnership for Research and Education in Materials (PREM) program between California State University, Long Beach and The Ohio State University is supported through a grant from the National Science Foundation (grant no. 2122199).
