AmeriCorps VISTA, access to a state-of the-art online volunteer matching platform developed by US2020 and Tata Consultancy Services, and management consulting services from US2020 and external partners. Three Grand Prize Winners—Allentown, Chicago, and Research Triangle Park—will also receive funds to hire a local project manager to help coordinate their STEM mentoring efforts. US2020 is seeking STEM professionals who can share their moments of discovery with participants. Each of the winning cities is starting to develop mentorship programs, including seeking materials researchers, among others, to help inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators. Information on how to get involved with US2020 or one of the City Competition winners can be found on the appropriate website. Jennifer A. Nekuda Malik

T
he German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved the establishment of a new collaborative research center (CRC) to be coordinated by Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU). The new CRC/Transregio Multiscale Simulation Methods for Soft-Matter Systems will focus on developing methods for computer-aided research on structural properties and processes of soft matter. Collaborative research centers are long-term DFG projects in fundamental research; CRC/Transregio projects are special in that the application must be submitted by several universities and/or institutions jointly. In addition to Mainz University as coordinator, the Technical
University of Darmstadt and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz will be participating in the new CRC/Transregio. DFG will fund the CRC/Transregio with about €7 million over the next four years. According to DFG, the new research center will concentrate on multiscale modeling. Soft matter represents an important class of materials that ranges from simple plastics to complex biomolecular systems and materials used in organic electronics applications. Their properties are determined by a subtle interplay of energy and entropy. Small changes in molecular interactions can lead to large changes in the macroscopic
The Materials Research Society has been included as an eligible organization on the 2014 Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). The CFC is the annual workplace fundraising drive conducted by U.S. federal employees and military personnel each fall, which raises millions of dollars benefiting thousands of nonprofit charities.
