Jeff Parker has been awarded a Faculty Research Grant/Healey Endowment Grant (FRG) of $14,175 to research and draft a novel titled “Our Cause.” This novel will follow three characters, each representing a different approach to addressing climate change.
The Faculty Research/Healey Endowment Grant program promotes research, scholarly, and creative activities in all disciplines and fields. The program supports projects that will lead to the production of publications or creative works, attract external funding, increase competitiveness for awards, and enhance faculty recipients’ reputation and research profile.
"Our Cause" is one of twelve projects led by UMass Amherst researchers—including eight projects from HFA faculty—which have received Faculty Research Grants/Healey Endowment Grants for 2024.
