Four professors in the College of Arts and Letters were among the 23 internal grant award-winners recently announced by Notre Dame Research. The grants were presented to faculty from three Colleges and Schools in two categories: Equipment Restoration and Renewal and Library Acquisition.
“Continuing to invest in the resources that make research happen — modern spectrometers, sample preparation technology, print archives, computer equipment, and more — is vital to maintaining and growing a vibrant research enterprise,” said Patricia L. Clark, associate vice president for research and Rev. John A. Cardinal O’Hara Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry. “Therefore, I am grateful that Notre Dame Research can again support our researchers and scholars, improving and advancing their work, through this year’s Equipment Restoration and Renewal and Library Acquisition programs.”
