Amphibians and Reptiles as Model Systems: Phylogenetic Research for Undergraduates
Dr. Jack Sites, Department of Biology This award provided $20,000 to support of molecular phylogenetic work on a number of projects, including those related to my long-term focus on the “deep history” relationships of squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes), and the second more recent emphasis on phylogeographic (“shallow history”) studies of frogs and lizards. This […]
An Undergraduate Mentoring Environment for Empirical Software Engineering Research
Dr. Charles Knutson, Department of Computer Science Summary In 2008 I was awarded a MEG entitled “An Undergraduate Mentoring Environment for Empirical Software Engineering Research.” In the several years that followed that award I was able to provide financial support to six undergraduate students. The results have been incredibly successful and gratifying. Of those students […]

Understanding the Causes and Consequences of the Impostor Phenomenon
Jeffrey Bednar, Management The MEG grant I was awarded was used to fund the work of several undergraduate and graduate students as we sought to present academic research and generate academic research articles for publication in various journals. This included research we have been conducting related to the “Impostor Syndrome”, where some high-achieving individuals fail […]
Understanding the Wind-dominated Landforms of Saturn’s Moon Titan Through Earth Analogues
Jani Radebaugh and Eric Christiansen, Geological Sciences, Shannon Tass, Statistics Executive Summary and Scientific Merit The largest moon of Saturn, Titan, has a thick atmosphere of nitrogen and a pressure similar to that of Earth at the surface. There are winds, strong enough to have produced two wind-dominated landforms similar to those on Earth – […]
A Nonhuman Primate Model of Anxiety-Induced Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism
J. Dee Higley, Psychology Summary This is the final report for the MEG Grant titled: A nonhuman primate model of anxiety-induced alcohol abuse and alcoholism. The formal phase of the project ran from June 1 through August 23, 2016, with the students learning how to safely work with their research subjects, joining a research team, […]
