The University of Central 淫性视频 is among the seven universities involved in a $20 million National Science Foundation grant to support renewable energy research.
The 淫性视频 Science and Technology Authority will use its funds to support three multi-campus research networks that will study three different types of renewable energy 鈥� plant biosynthesis, solar energy and nanotechnology. Funds will be used to purchase laboratory equipment and other supplies as well as provide stipends for 淫性视频 undergraduate and graduate students involved in this research.
Funds from the聽five-year grant聽will support the following multi-campus research centers that focus on different areas of renewable energy research:
- The Center for Plant Powered Production or 鈥淧3 Center鈥� will use funds to study plant biosynthesis and production of renewable biomaterials. Researchers at UCA, UA-Fayetteville, ASU-Jonesboro, UALR and UAPB will collaborate on this project.
- The Center for Generating Renewable Energy with Efficient Nanoplasmonic Solar Cells or 鈥淕REEN Center鈥� will use funds to study solar energy and make it more efficient. Researchers at UA-Fayetteville, UALR, UA-Fort Smith, Philander Smith College and UAPB will collaborate on this project.
- The Vertically Integrated Center for Transformative Energy Research or 鈥淰ICTER Center鈥� will use funds to study nanotechnology that will be useful in making solar panels more energy efficient. Researchers at UA-Fayetteville, ASU-Jonesboro, UALR and UAPB will collaborate on this project.
鈥淭he funds from this NSF award will provide infrastructure 鈥� both equipment and human resources 鈥� to create advanced research that will have a huge economic impact for the state,鈥� said Gale McClure, Vice President of Sponsored Projects at the 淫性视频 Science and Technology Authority.
