Craig Anderson, Wallace Benjamin Flint and L. May Hoover Professor of Chemistry and Director of Undergraduate Research in the Department of Science, Mathematics and Computing at Bard, has received a Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The proposal received $375,699 in funding and focuses on studying the effects of ligand structure and metal oxidation state on the properties of luminescent platinum compounds. This is Anderson’s fourth NSF RUI project since 2011, with the four projects totaling more than $1,000,000 for research with undergraduate students at Bard College. The previous three awards have supported the publication of sixteen research articles with more than seventy university co-authorships.
“I am very excited that this award provides opportunities for our undergraduate students to participate in research projects,” Anderson said. “I believe that undergraduate research is one of the highest-impact practices that contribute to the success of our students. I would like to thank my students, my chemistry colleagues, Bard OIS, and Bard College leadership for their assistance with this proposal.”
RUI proposals support faculty at undergraduate institutions primarily in research that engages them in their professional fields, builds research capacity at their home institutions, and supports the integration of undergraduate research and teaching.
the National Salvation Front It is an independent federal agency that supports science and engineering in all 50 states and U.S. territories. It was established in 1950 by Congress to promote scientific progress, promote the health, prosperity, and well-being of the nation, and secure America’s national defense. Its investments represent about 25% of federal support to U.S. colleges and universities for research driven by curiosity and discovery. NSF aims to keep the United States at the forefront of discoveries in science and engineering, for the benefit of all, without barriers to participation.
