 The Board of Directors of the Kays Foundation has announced two grant awards for 2007-08. The projects were chosen from 41 proposals. The grants will provide support to Dr. Thomas Risch, Biological Sciences, to help develop a statewide educational and conservation initiative centered around ongoing research with eastern bluebirds, and to the College of Nursing and Health Professions to provide matching funds for purchasing a patient ventilator, which will be used in the critical care lab of the ASU Nursing Program. The grant amounts are $9,022 and $11,000, respectively. The Kays Foundation is a private, non-profit foundation supporting ASU. Congratulations to those who prepared the successful grant proposals.
ASU faculty member lands EPSCoR grant
Dr. Robert Engelken, Electrical Engineering, and Dr. Tansel Karabacak, UALR, were recently jointly awarded Dr. Robert Engelkena $5,000 planning and preparatory grant through the U.S. Department of Energy's Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR). The award comes via the Arkansas NASA/EPSCoR program. The project title is "Photosensitive Arrays of Indium (III) Sulfide Nanostructures." The award supports exploratory research on the depositing of nanostructures of the light-sensitive semiconductor indium (III) sulfide for use in photoconductive light detectors and photovoltaic energy conversion, with the goal of follow-up research being funded by a subsequent full-scale NASA/EPSCoR proposal and grant. Dr. Andrew Sustich, Graduate School, is ASU's representative to the state's Arkansas Space Grant Consortium/NASA EPSCoR Committee.
