MSU
Receives $1.4 Million Dollar NSF Research Award
Murray State University has been notified that it will receive a three-year, 1.4
million dollar research award. Jointly funded by the U.S. National Science
Foundation and the Commonwealth of Kentucky's Experimental Program to Stimulate
Competitive Research (EPSCoR), the award will establish a Center for Watershed
Environments (CWE) at Murray State University, and will promote collaboration
among faculty at MSU and the University of Kentucky in new Environmental Research
and Education
|
activities. The CWE will build upon Murray State's accomplishments as a Commonwealth
Center of Excellence in Reservoir Research and will further enable comprehensive
studies of western Kentucky's land and water environments. The award will assist
in recruitment of new MSU faculty having expertise in the environmental sciences,
and in the acquisition of new research instrumentation. The award will also allow MSU to better align itself with major new evironmental sciences initiatives that are supported by federal agencies. Faculty from five departments within MSU's College of Science engineering and Technology (CSET) will be involved in the project. Dr. George Kipphut will serve as project director. Drs' Haluk Cetin, Susan Hendricks, Michael Kemp, Bommanna Loganathan, David White, and Howard Whiteman are co-investigators. Several other CSET faculty will also participate in project activities. |
