U.S. Senators Chris Van Hollen and Ben Cardin and Congressman Kweisi Mfume (all D-Md.) announced $5,000,000 to spur scientific and technological research at Morgan State University in Baltimore City. Over the next five years, these federal funds – provided through the National Science Foundation’s Centers for Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) program – will establish a new CREST Center for advanced magnet and semiconductor research at the University and will serve as a hub for research collaboration in the region. This funding was made possible by the lawmakers’ work to pass the CHIPS and Science Act and is another clear example of how this historic legislation is investing in our communities and keeping our nation at the forefront of science and technology.
