AM24 - C04: Emerging Research Institutions: Expanding Participation & Partnerships in Physics

This session from 2024's APS April Meeting explores the critical role of Emerging Research Institutions (ERIs) in the national research ecosystem. The CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 introduced the ERI category to promote research equity and broaden participation in STEM. Presentations covered the characteristics of ERIs, their overlap with other federally designated institutions, and new federal programs supporting their research and education efforts. Additionally, we hear about UC Merced's rapid growth in high energy density science, leveraging DOE programs to advance research and student support. Another highlight includes Sonoma State University's collaborative efforts with R1 universities and national labs, resulting in a DOE-funded program that enhances student training and institutional partnerships.
