RII Award

The National Science Foundation has awarded the state of New Hampshire $6.67 million in a Research Infrastructure Improvement (RII) grant. The funds will be used to buy equipment and create testing facilities at the University of New Hampshire and Dartmouth College .

The grant supports research in the development of:

• Sensors for a new generation of small space satellite systems
• Turbulence-flow environments for sensor testing (atmospheric, aquatic)
• New applications of nanotechnology relevant to the space science and turbulence efforts

In addition, a portion of the grant will augment state support for the New Hampshire Innovation Research Center , which underwrites research collaborations with universities and colleges to benefit companies. An outreach program will be developed by the New Hampshire Community College in Berlin to engage students in related high-technology research...

The NH EPSCoR program is supported by the National Science Foundation
under Grant No. EPS-0701730.
