Partnership for Research and Education in Materials (PREM)
with California State University, Long Beach (CSULB)
Overview
The NSF PREM Program seeks to enable, build, and grow partnerships between minority-serving institutions and DMR-supported centers with goal of increasing recruitment, retention and degree attainment for underrepresented groups in materials research, while supporting excellent research and education initiatives.

Research
The Partnership Research Groups (PRG) include:
- PRG-1: Topological Aspects of Magnetism
- PRG-2: Quantum Materials for QIS in Reduced Dimensions
- PRG-3: Biomolecule Topology and Props.
Broader Impacts
The CSULB-OSU Partnership impacts students and researchers from undergraduate, graduate, postgraduate and faculty at both partner institutions:
- Link two APS Bridge Program sites (OSU and CSULB)
- Provide CSULB undergraduate students with research experiences
- Create an OSU graduate student and postdoc exchange at CSULB
- Expand CSULB faculty research programs and productivity
- Increase OSU research collaborations and access to well-trained student pool
- Create Opportunities for significant achievements for URM students
- Thesis-based CSULB MS degrees
- CSULB/OSU collaborative published papers with CSULB student authors
