“The IDS grant gave me the flexibility to try a new project and get some ideas for larger grant proposals in the future. It has been invaluable as a new faculty trying to make connections and form collaborations.”
“I appreciated the support to keep this project going in a moment when I really had no funding for it. I also appreciate very much the support and guidance of Buju Dasgupta."
“The funding was a wonderful opportunity to develop these ideas and collaborators with faculty across campus.”
