From the Director of Tuskegee University's Center for Advanced Materials (T-CAM)
Welcome to Tuskegee University Center for Advanced Materials (T-CAM), one of eleven multidisciplinary centers on the Campus. The center is involved with research sponsored by the U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy, National Science Foundation and industry. The center actively collaborates with industry, national laboratories and university partners in the research and development of materials of interest to military, commercial, recreational and health related industry.

Center for Research Excellence in Science & Technology (NSF/CREST)
The goal of the CREST center is to develop nanophased composites which can be used for structural applications much the same way as the traditional composites have been used. An equally important goal of the Crest Center is to Educate minority students, Undergraduate through Ph.D. in the science and engineering of Advanced Materials.

NSF-IGERT: Multidisciplinary Integrated Graduate Education and Research Training in Nanomaterials Science and Engineering
The goal of Tuskegee University's IGERT is to substantially increase the number of African American PhDs in Materials Science and Engineering, with an emphasis on Nano structured Materials. The grant has enabled Tuskegee University to increase the enrollment of students in it's Ph.D. program in MSE and make it more multidisciplinary in terms of course offering and research opportunities.

NSF-PREM
The Partnership for Research and Education in Materials (PREM) is a five-year grant funded by the National Science Foundation for the establishment of collaborative relationship between T-CAM and Cornell University's Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRESC). MRSEC is one of the largest and programs funded by the NSF. Through this partnership we intend to develop Tuskegee University's infrastructure for research and education in MSE and eventually have our own MRSEC.

|
NSF-RISE
The Research Infrastructure in Science and Engineering (RISE) grant funded by the National Science Foundation deals strengthening of the research infrastructure in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) so that research opportunities for the PhD students are broadened. Major highlights of the RISE grant include acquisition of state-of-the-art equipment, development of new multidisciplinary courses, interaction with national and international labs, etc.

ONR-Office of Naval Research Center
The Office of Naval research has been funding research at T-CAM since 1980. The first Center of Excellence grant was awarded in 1986 under the DoD University Research Initiative (URI) program for the development of SiC/SiC composites for high temperature applications. The current funding from ONR is to develop nanocomposites for marine structures.

SBIR/STTR
Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grants/contracts are awarded by the National Science Foundation, Department of Defense and other federal agencies to small business to develop innovative products or processes which could be further developed and marketed. Tuskegee University partners with several small business through these grants.
