$1.2 Million National Science Foundation Grant Awarded to ASU
ASU has been awarded a $1.2 million National Science Foundation grant.
A $1.2 million National Science Foundation (NSF) grant has been awarded to a team of educators led by Alabama State University's Dr. Gulnaz Javan, who serves as a professor of Forensic Science and coordinator of Forensic Biology in ASU's Department of Physical and Forensic Science. The grant, which covers research conducted over a five-year period between 2024 and 2029, is part of NSF's Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program.
Javan explained that the title of the funded project is “The Building of Alabama STEM Educators with M.S./M.Ed.”
"This program's ultimate goal is to produce more highly qualified and competent minority STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) teachers who are competent in content knowledge and possess a strong commitment and disposition to teaching biology, forensic science, and mathematics in our school systems," Javan stated. "This significant grant is the first NSF grant to be secured by ASU's Department of Physical and Forensic Sciences.”
