- develop new and "disruptive" technologies based upon new organic and hybrid materials processed into devices at low cost;
- create a better-trained, diverse workforce in the area of materials and devices for information technology, and to improve the diversity of that work force through proactive recruiting and innovative web-based cooperative learning;
- create new opportunities for providing interdisciplinary, hands-on education by facilitating exchange of students amongst groups with diverse research capabilities and interests;
- formulate cooperative research and development agreements, intellectual property agreements, and personnel exchanges to promote inter-university, research university/designated-minority institution, and university/industry/Federal laboratory interactions;
- develop and implement new modes of technology transfer and entrepreneurship and assess how these modes impact inventors (students, faculty, and postdoctoral fellows) and universities;
- create road maps for organic and hybrid photonics and electronics;
- design, implement, and assess new educational approaches that provide more flexible and accessible career pathways for students; and
- provide ethics training at each university to all incoming members; topics will include scientific integrity, the concept of inventorship, accurate record keeping, and the requirement to share credit.
