Arkansas State University Faculty Research Grants
The Office of Research and Technology Transfer at ASU has awarded grants to several faculty members. The proposals were gathered in response to a call for proposals from any faculty members across campus. Eleven projects were funded for a total of $40,000. This funding is viewed as seed money for faculty to develop project ideas to a point where they will be competitive for state or federal funding. Faculty in the colleges of Nursing and Health Professions, Agriculture, Science and Mathematics, Humanities, Fine Arts and Engineering received funding. The faculty members and projects are:
