More than two dozen faculty members earn research grants
Prof. Toni Damkoehler of Art and Design, this year’s chairperson of the Research Council, shares with us the names, award amounts and project titles of fall 2012 Grants in Aid of Research recipients. Twenty-six GIAR faculty grants were awarded for a total of $16,249.99. Those numbers are larger than in past years because of additional support from the offices of the academic deans on top of the baseline funding from the Provost’s Office.
