Featured Programs
AMI supports programs that expand access to materials science education, connect learners with hands-on STEM experiences and strengthen pathways into research and engineering.
A nationally recognized professional development program for teachers involved in math, chemistry, physics, physical sciences, and related fields. It introduces key concepts in materials sciences through accessible, hands-on lab activities.
A first-of-its-kind STEAM campus where education, experience and innovation meet. It includes community partners at TCT and IGNITE, formerly Children’s Hands-On Museum, plus public-private educational partnerships spanning the state of Alabama.
NSF EPSCoR Graduate Fellowship Program
The Alabama Materials Institute is coordinating an opportunity for NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) Honorable Mention recipients who may be eligible to receive fellowship funding through the NSF EPSCoR Graduate Fellowship Program (EGFP).
To be considered for this opportunity, students must first apply to the NSF GRFP and receive an Honorable Mention designation. GRFP applicants must be U.S. citizens.
Interested students and faculty can watch the recorded webinar to learn more about the opportunity, eligibility requirements and next steps:

Research Image Contest
Research is about exploring, finding, and understanding nature. Images related to research can be instrumental in helping people better understand such discoveries. With this contest, AMI wants to highlight current research at UA.
Undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral associates, and visiting scientists on and off the UA campus are invited to submit images taken at this facility for the contest.
