Five undergraduate students at 91短视频 have been awarded grants to work with faculty on mentored research projects this summer.<\/span><\/p>\n The Glenn Kauffman and Roman Miller Research Awards of $2,500 each will fund the following research projects:<\/span><\/p>\n Last year\u2019s sole award funded data collection in the Bergton area watershed to build water quality research. Senior Amanda Williams and recent graduate Hannah Daley <\/span>investigated the relationship between canopy cover and stream water temperature in two headwater streams<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n The awards are sponsored by donors to the <\/span>Daniel B. Suter Endowment Fund<\/span><\/a> and the CT Assist Grant Fund, and can be used for student summer research wages, research supplies, and travel and fees to present ongoing or past work at a scientific meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cEncouraging student research is an important goal of the Daniel B. Suter Endowment Fund,\u201d said <\/span>Stephen Cessna<\/span><\/a>, a biochemistry professor who holds the Daniel B. Suter Endowed Chair. \u201cThese awards will provide opportunities for biology and chemistry students to build the key skills of scientific inquiry from writing the proposal to presenting and potentially publishing their findings.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The awards are named for emeritus professors Glenn Kauffman (chemistry) and Roman Miller (biology), each of whom were \u201cchampions of undergraduate involvement in authentic scientific research at 91短视频,\u201d said Cessna. Over their 30-plus year tenures, each worked with more than 40 undergraduates on research projects ranging in topics from organic blueberry production to the synthesis of new cyclic organic compounds. <\/span><\/p>\n Read about the award application requirements.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n Such grants bolster the ever-growing spectrum of <\/span>biology<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>chemistry<\/span><\/a> research projects by students and faculty: <\/span><\/p>\n Read more about research by 91短视频 students:<\/span><\/p>\n Five undergraduate students at 91短视频 have been awarded grants to work with faculty on mentored research projects this summer.
