NSF Award Helps ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State Anthropologists Expand International Partnership

NSF Supports Inter-institutional Project to Develop Chemical Sensor Technology

NSF Awards ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State Researchers $1.3 Million to Nourish Children’s Minds, Fill Their Bellies
Science is complex, and it’s difficult to discuss it with children under the best circumstances; it’s even more difficult when they are hungry. Two ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï researchers may have cooked up a way to solve both of those problems, and the National Science Foundation just awarded them a three-year, $1.3 million grant to determine if their recipe works.

NSF Awards ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State Researcher Nearly $1 Million for Separate Liquid Crystal Studies
Trustees Research Professor Oleg Lavrentovich, Ph.D., a chemical physicist in ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï’s Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute (AMLCI), just received nearly $1 million between two grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for separate studies with potential applications in biomedical science, commercial electronics and beyond.

ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State Biological Sciences Researchers to Lead Study on the Effects of the Spreading Eastern Red Cedars
The National Science Foundation has awarded a three-year, $914,000 grant to ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï to lead a collaborative research project to study how and at what rate the geographically most widespread native conifer in the eastern United States, the Eastern Red Cedar tree species (Juniperus virginiana), spreads across the landscape.

NSF Award Funds Sensor Research at ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State’s New Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute
Thanks to a rare Grant Opportunities for Academic Liaison with Industry (GOALI) award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï researchers in the new Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute will be able to work with partners at Merck Performance Materials to advance life-saving sensory technology.
