| I will present an overview of the long-term Partnership for Research and Education in Materials (PREM) established between the W. M. Keck Computational Materials Theory Center (CMTC) at California State University Northridge (CSUN), a Hispanic-serving institution, and the NSF-funded Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at Princeton University. I will discuss how the PREM has allowed us 1) to expand the existing collaborative research by incorporating new research and education partners; 2) to incorporate an outreach education program for high school students and teachers in computational materials research; 3) to develop novel techniques for multiscale modeling to study more complex physical phenomena; 4) to access and harness the intellectual power and the existing unique approaches/codes that will be needed for the grand challenge simulations and predictions, through synergistic collaborations with team members and scientists from the two institutions; and 6) to promote accessibility of frontier research/education experience in multidisciplinary computational science to students from underrepresented groups.
