***This program is limited in the number of applications that can be submitted by the university. If you are interested in applying to this program, please contact Dr. David Pramer of ORSP (pramer@orsp.rutgers.edu or 932-1050 x3027) or Mary Feldenkreiss (felden@orsp.rutgers.edu or 732-932-0150 x3015) with questions about the internal peer review process. See the ORSP website for internal deadlines - http://orsp.rutgers.edu/limited.php.

The objective of the PREP is to encourage individuals from underrepresented groups, who have recently obtained their baccalaureate degrees, to complete Ph.D. degrees in biomedically relevant sciences through extensive academic enhancements and research experience. For the purposes of this program announcement, recent baccalaureate graduates are those who have graduated from an accredited U.S. college or university no more than 36 months prior to applying to a PREP and are not currently enrolled in a degree program. It is anticipated that this program would lead to a steady supply of exceptional Ph.D.-bound students from underrepresented groups. An added benefit of the PREP is that some of the participants might eventually become the scientists who conduct research on cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, respiratory diseases, HIV and other Sexually Transmitted Diseases, substance abuse, and other areas that address reducing health disparities. In order to increase their acceptance into highly selective graduate programs, PREP participants will receive extensive research training and academic preparation through a one-year apprenticeship, to further develop their scholarly potential and improve their research skills.

The project will culminate in the design, fabrication and testing of 10MW of fuel cells. The objectives of Phase I are to design and perform analyses of the Baseline (>100MWe) and Proof of-Concept (POC) Systems, to include concept identification, system definition and cost analyses, resolve any fuel cell barrier issues, initiate manufacturing development, and fabricate and test scaled fuel cells and fuel cell stacks. The objective of Phase II is to further enhance the Baseline System design, perform a detailed design of the POC System, establish cost estimates for the Baseline System power block, and complete commissioning of the fuel cell manufacturing facility required for the Phase III deliverable. Phase II will also require the fabrication and testing of a fuel cell module incorporating fuel cell stacks based upon the Phase I development effort. The objective of Phase III is to fabricate a POC System and conduct longterm testing using coal synthesis gas as the fuel and provide the capability to operate on steamreformed natural gas in the event syngas is not continuously available in order to ensure the integrity of the fuel cell and to minimize cover gas requirements.
