October 2007 research board awards announced

A previous article listing the October 2007 research board awards was incorrect. The correct information is below. We apolgoize for any inconvenience.

The University of Missouri Research Board, a universitywide panel composed of 22 faculty members, has awarded more than $1.1 million to support 42 research projects across the University’s four campuses.

The board has established a network of UM experts in each discipline and addresses specific criteria in evaluating a request before considering the recommendations of the peer reviewers. Ann Miller, the Cynthia Tang Missouri Distinguished Professor of Computer Engineering at the Missouri University of Science and Technology, chairs the research board.

In October, researchers from UM filed 125 requests for grants, totaling more than $4.6 million. Approximately 34 percent of the requests were approved and approximately 25 percent of the total dollar amount requested was awarded.
The board granted seven engineering requests for a total of $182,683; 11 in humanities and fine arts for a total of $211,077; 10 in life sciences for a total of $395,703; six in physical sciences and mathematics for a total of $257,083; and eight in social and behavioral sciences for a total of $138,987.
