Congratulations to Dr. Robyn Hannigan, Environmental Sciences, and Dr. Carolyn Dowling, Chemistry, for receiving a $434,000 grant from the National Science Foundation. The five-year grant is a renewal and will continue the highly successful Research Internships in Science of the Environment (RISE). RISE provides summer research experiences in environmental sciences to under-represented minority and first-generation/low income undergraduate science majors from across the United States. RISE is designed specifically to meet the education needs of under-represented minority students with the primary goal of increasing the diversity of the science workforce.
