The Center in partnership with Emory University conducts the CFNM/PRISM Teacher Fellows Program. Problems and Research to Integrate Science and Mathematics (PRISM) is a joint program between Clark Atlanta University and Emory University that engages science and mathematics faculty, graduate and undergraduate students in collaborations with middle-and-high-school teachers in four Atlanta area school districts. The 2010 CFNM/PRISM Program will begin 7 June 2010. Interested individual are asked to click the link to the PRISM Website.

SUMMER OPPORTUNITIES

The Center as an integral part of its mission conducts in addition to its Nanoscholars Program offers summer research and educational experience for talented individuals from other institutions.  Thus the Center offers its Summer Nanoscholars Program, the CFNM/PRISM Fellow Program and the Nanoscholar Abroad Program.

Summer Nanoscholars Program (June 2 - July 16, 2011)    Online Application

The Summer Nanoscholars Program is conducted annually for a six to eight week period during the months of June and July. The goal of the Program is to provide an enriching education and research experience to talented undergraduate students, who are considering attending graduate or professional schools after graduation. The Summer Nanoscholars work under the direction of one of the Center's senior researchers on a project designed to yield significant results during the limited Summer period and to make a real contribution to the goals and objectives of an ongoing Center project. Each Summer Nanoscholar will work with a graduate Nanoscholar, who will mentor him/her during the summer research experience. During the course of the summer program, the Summer Nanoscholars will be introduced to a variety of research techniques and instruments, many of which are especially well suited for investigating the nanoscale. Furthermore, the Summer Nanoscholars meet weekly with the other summer scholars, the mentors, the director and other interested researchers to discuss topics of special interest. The summer research experience culminates with an informal presentation by the summer research scholar of their work and results.

The 2011 Nanoscholars Undergraduate Summer Program at Clark Atlanta University will begin June 2, 2011 and will end July 16, 2011. It is open to all undergraduate students majoring in one of the natural or physical sciences, who will have completed their freshman year. Each participant will have a personalized research project as well as have both a graduate student mentor and faculty advisor. This summer’s Program will include seminars, short courses, regular laboratory meetings and research presentations. Interested students may apply by completing the application found on this web site. Participating students will receive a stipend of $3,000.00 and will be required to commit a minimum of 40 hours per week to the program’s activities. Room, board and round-trip transportation to and from Atlanta will be provided.
