We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Cost Effective Spectrum Analysis For Introductory Musical Acoustics
With the recent introduction of relatively inexpensive Digital Signal Processing (DSP) cards for PCs, a large number of sophisticated and innovative acoustics experiments involving digital fast Fourier transform (FFT) spectrum analysis become possible at a considerable savings compared with stand-alone FFT analyzers. This grant remedies the lack of equipment to perform FFT spectrum analysis in the laboratory of the introductory musical acoustics course, The Science of Music. The labs had been based on stand-alone digital storage oscilloscopes. The lack of FFT capability is a serious pedagogical deficiency in light of the enormous importance of harmonic spectra to the understanding of the physics of sound and musical instruments. Fourier analysis is often a difficult concept for students to understand in the abstract. They need to be provided hands-on laboratory experiences to enhance their understanding. This grant equips eight previously purchased computer lab stations in the acoustics lab with DSP cards and software required to perform FFT analysis. In addition, one unit is being placed in the PC dedicated to the acoustics lecture room, facilitating in-class demonstrations and discussions. Additional utilization of the new equipment occurs the form of senior research projects, advanced laboratory experiments (for physics majors), and use in a new course in Physical Acoustics for majors.

Scholarship Initiative in Chemistry and Physics
Sixteen freshmen students majoring in chemistry or physics divided into two cohorts of eight are receiving annual scholarships of $9,750. The first cohort is receiving four-year scholarships funded by this S-STEM grant. The second cohort will be receiving three-year scholarships from S-STEM funds followed by a one-year scholarship from the university.
Noteworthy features of the project include the combination of a sufficient pool of scholarship candidates and the capacity within the chemistry and physics programs to absorb the increased enrollment, the involvement of the entire chemistry and physics faculty in the project, and the available student support services. Continuing a long established graduation requirement, the scholars are undertaking a year-long senior capstone research course. Since course credit is being received for these projects and is included in the minimum credit hours required for graduation, the requirement is being permitted within the S-STEM program.
