Drs. Michael Findley and Daniel Nielson, Department of Political Science Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the proposal were met The research project has been successful, overall, and we are continuing to prepare research for publication. When we recruited students to assist us with the research, we asked them to develop their own […]

Refinement and Validation of Elicited Imitation as a Measure of Oral Proficiency
Dr. Dan Dewey, Department of Linguistic and English Language We were able to achieve most of the goals established in the MEG proposal we submitted in the Fall of 2008 (for a grant Winter, 2009). We did end up adjusting the project and use of the funds slightly to adapt to changing needs and to […]
Three-Dimensional Seismic Study of Pluton Emplacement
Drs. Eric H. Christiansen and William Keach, Department of Geological Sciences Introduction The origin of Earth’s continents, many of our most important ore deposits and the largest and most damaging volcanic eruptions are all related to the emplacement of silicic plutons–large masses of once molten magma. Understanding the details of the mechanism by which these […]
The Role of Nuclear Bmp2 (nBmp2) in Skeletal Muscle
Dr. Laura Bridgewater, Department of Microbiology & Molecular Biology The goal of this project was to characterize the molecular pathway by which nBmp2 disrupts Ca2+ handling in skeletal muscle of nBmp2 mutant mice. Previously, we had worked with Dr. Chad Hancock’s lab to measure muscle function in nBmp2 mutant mice, and those results showed a […]
How Does the Effect of Cholesterol Vary between the Inner and Outer Membrane?
Dr. John Bell, Department of Physiology and Developmental Biology Summary This proposal was designed to use fluorescence spectroscopy to identify in as much detail as possible physical properties of model membranes in effort to understand roles of cholesterol in biological membranes. The following questions were addressed: how does the effect of cholesterol differ between the […]
The Effects of Development Aid on Public Health
Dr. Daniel Nielson, Department of Political Science Reaching Academic Objectives Between 2007 and 2009 the students in my mentoring research program helped fill out the Project-Level Aid (PLAID) Database, now called AidData and located at aiddata.org, to such an extent that the academic fruits became both evident and prominent. With the help of the mentored […]
