Idaho's
NSF Research Infrastructure Improvement (RII) Award - EPSCoR
IV
Idaho's
current $9 million NSF RII
award (EPS 0132626) was initiated in February 2002 to improve and expand existing
strengths in three research focus areas - all within NSF areas of
emphasis - and at the same time to integrate forward-looking Human
Resource Development and
21st Century workforce plans.

NSF EPSCoR Research
Idaho research teams receive support for postdoctoral scientists,
graduate students, undergraduate researchers, modern equipment,
professional development travel and coordinated research activities,
and several new tenure-track positions to be continued by UI, BSU
and ISU after this award to ensure sustainability. These teams
focus on strengthening three areas of research:
This team develops nanoscale materials, models their syntheses, and
evaluates their properties, with a focus on the ultimate suitability
of various materials for device and sensor applications in
electronics, optoelectronics, and magnetics.

This research presents an integrated study of how the physical and
geochemical properties of microbial habitats affect the abundance,
diversity, and function of microbial populations and, in turn, how
microorganisms influence their surrounding physical and geochemical
environments. [More...]
