Funding Opportunities

What Our Students Say

The funding allows me to take samples that were otherwise outside of my budget range to validate an underway optics instrument. 

ASGP Funding has opened up a few really awesome opportunities for me. For example, my master's research spawned from the funded NASA internship. It has also made me realize researching is what I enjoy, therefore I am continuing into graduate school.

Ground Truthing MODIS NDVI Measurements in Remote Areas of Alaska

Global climate warming is amplified near the poles (Cohen et al., 2014) and at higher elevations (Pepin et al., 2015). Using remote sensing in America’s Arctic mountains, the Brooks Range, researchers have observed changes in vegetation types, growing seasons, and plant phenology over recent…

Experiments and PIC Simulations of Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Corona Discharge

The purpose of this Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship proposal is to continue studying the steady state (DC) corona discharge to generate reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). By studying the steady state corona discharge, we will examine how to effectively generate RONS for…
