Dr. Konrad Meister (BMOL Faculty) recently received $600,000 for a three-year period from the Defense Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (DEPSCoR), which falls under the Department of Defense (DoD). His proposal titled, “Unraveling the Molecular Basis for Superior Ice Nucleation Activity”, was one of the 25 finalist proposals selected for funding. DEPSCoR is a capacity-building program designed to strengthen the basic research infrastructure at institutions of higher education in underutilized states and territories.
“The DEPSCoR Research Collaboration competition is open to tenured and tenure-track faculty members with appointments in the 37 states and territories eligible to compete for DEPSCoR funds. This competition helps introduce potential researchers to DoD’s unique research needs and its supporting research ecosystem. Each collaborative team pairs a principal investigator new to the DoD research enterprise with a mentor who has previously worked with the department.”
