Mathematical modeling of cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions
Dr. Emily Evans, Department of Mathematics Scientific Merit of Project Understanding cell-cell and cell-extracellular interactions is important because these inter- actions play a role in wound healing, developmental processes, and pathological conditions such as cancer. The work done for this project is in some sense joint work with biologists, in the sense that biologists perform […]
The Neurobiological Basis of Memory Specificity: The Influence of Context and Re-Encoding
Dr. Brock Kirwan, Psychology Department Application Abstract At a general level, we know that the information that is successfully encoded in and retrieved from long-term memory is influenced by the context during encoding and retrieval. However, we do not yet know how context affects mnemonic discrimination of similar or overlapping items or events. Further, we […]

Jim Brau’s Final Report on 2016 $12,560 MEG Grant
The overall academic objective of the project to involve students in mentored-research learning went very well. Effectively 100% of the MEG grant went to students – the vast majority to RA wages, and a smaller percentage to student travel to and register for academic conferences (Utah Academy of Science, Arts, and Letters in Orem and […]
Evolution of the photopigments in the largest and most complex terrestrial animal eyes
Seth M. Bybee, Department of Biology, December 2017 Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the proposal were met The proposal had three main aims: 1). Produce a phylogenetic estimate of aeshnid dragonfly evolution from transcriptomes. 2). Use the phylogeny from Aim I and the photopigments isolated from the transcriptome data to examine the […]
