Join MONET in NSF's Partnerships for Research and Education in Chemistry (PREC) program to transform polymer science through diverse collaborations. As a CHE-supported center, MONET seeks partnerships with minority-serving institutions to advance cutting-edge research while increasing recruitment, retention, and degree attainment for underrepresented groups in chemistry.

MONET's Signature Professional Development Experience (SPDE) initiative offers trainees a unique opportunity to deeply explore a technical or non-technical aspect of the Center's activities through project-based learning. MONET supports trainees in completing their SPDEs, leading to high levels of engagement and tangible outcomes.

Develop cutting-edge skills, contribute to groundbreaking publications, and launch your career in an NSF-funded Center for Chemical Innovation. With 70% of our participants from underrepresented backgrounds and a 100% satisfaction rate with our application process, MONET opens doors to endless possibilities in polymer science and beyond.

What is a polymer?

Why do tires and artificial joints wear out, and how can we prevent that?

What would polymers “sound like” if they were music?

The successful spin-off of BigSMILES as the Community Resource for Informatic Polymer Technology (CRIPT), a partnership between MIT, Citrine Informatics, Dow Chemical, and NIST in which tools created in our research activities are being developed into a community database for polymer science through an NSF Phase I Convergence Accelerator project.

Share informal science discovery through engaging activities! MONET's Outreach Kit Program brings the excitement of scientific research to informal learning environments, from K-12 classrooms to camps, homeschooling, and adult education. Experience the wonders of polymers, materials science, and more through hands-on activities and interactive resources.
