NSF Award Helps 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Anthropologists Expand International Partnership
The (NSF) recently awarded 51³Ô¹ÏÍø a three-year, $298,000 International Research Experience for Students (IRES) grant that will allow graduate students to travel to in Japan to study primates and human evolution at the world-renowned .
NSF Award Helps 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Anthropologists Expand International Partnership
A new federal grant will help 51³Ô¹ÏÍø expand an international relationship and provide invaluable opportunities for some graduate students. The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently awarded 51³Ô¹ÏÍø a three-year $298,000 International Research Experience for Students (IRES) gra…
NSF Supports Inter-institutional Project to Develop Chemical Sensor Technology
Toxic air pollutants such as chlorine and ozone are hazards for civilian workers and public service employees like firefighters, police and military personnel. Some airborne chemicals can be difficult to detect at low levels with high specificity, though, and relevant technologies like wearable sens…
51³Ô¹ÏÍø Magazine: Brainstorming
Cross-departmental collaborations are what Michael Lehman, the inaugural director of 51³Ô¹ÏÍø’s Brain Health Research Institute, envisions for the future. His goal is to unite researchers from a wide range of disciplines at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø and throughout Northeast Ohio to explore, expand and advance our knowledge of the human brain and how it functions.
51³Ô¹ÏÍø Professor Weighs in on New Research Regarding Burnout
Researchers from the University of Washington and Washington University, along with other collaborators, are seeking answers to those questions. They studied the brains of mice to identify what causes them to stop seeking a reward — in essence, what makes them burn out.
New Methodologies Developed in 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Geology Professor's Lab Improve Monitoring of Lakes and Oceans
After years of remote sensing work, Joseph Ortiz, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Geology in the College of Arts and Sciences at 51³Ô¹ÏÍø, and his research team recently shared their development of new cost-efficient methodologies that may lead to much safer drinking water for people in Ohio and other municipalities affected by harmful algal blooms (HAB).
NIH Funds 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Psychologist’s Project to Teach Children Food Allergy Safety Skills
A 51³Ô¹ÏÍø researcher with a background in safety training models — and a very personal motivation — has devised a method to help some children with food allergies stay safe, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) just granted him the funding to test it.
NSF Awards 51³Ô¹ÏÍø 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 51³Ô¹ÏÍø 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 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Researcher Nearly $1 Million for Separate Liquid Crystal Studies
Trustees Research Professor Oleg Lavrentovich, Ph.D., a chemical physicist in 51³Ô¹ÏÍø’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.
51³Ô¹ÏÍø 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 51³Ô¹ÏÍø 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.
