The Research & Innovation Office (RIO)'s Research Development team is offering a full slate of events this fall to help faculty find funding, engage with peers on core research topics, and prepare proposals for research, scholarship and creative work.
Why did a frozen Earth coincide with an evolutionary spurt? That's the question Lizzy Trower and Carl Simpson (Geological Sciences) aim to answer with the support of a recent award from the W.M. Keck Foundation. If they succeed, they would not only help unravel an evolutionary mystery, but also extend the temperature record of Earth by 2 billion years.
CU Boulder Chancellor Justin Schwartz today announced that Massimo Ruzzene, vice chancellor for research and innovation, will begin reporting directly to him, effective Aug. 30. Ruzzene currently reports to Provost Russell Moore, the chief academic officer of the campus.
Bolstering its longstanding collaboration with NASA, the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at CU Boulder today enacted a collaborative Space Act Agreement with NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. The agreement will advance research and modeling in the critical field of space weather.
In the quest to develop life-like materials to replace and repair human body parts, scientists face a formidable challenge: Real tissues are often both strong and stretchable and vary in shape and size. A CU Boulder-led team has taken a critical step toward cracking that code.
Companies at the conference, which will be held in Breckenridge on September 12 and 13, represent the future of life-saving health innovation from the Rocky Mountain West. They will pitch to angel investors, venture capitalists and strategic partners from major financial hubs.
The AB Nexus program provides joint-campus funding and resources to catalyze research collaborations between CU Boulder and CU Anschutz. Collectively, the seven winning teams for the 2024 award cycle will receive $713K in funding to advance cutting-edge research that improves human health and well-being.
Professor Bethany Wilcox (Physics) and Graduate Research Fellow Josephine Meyer discuss how courses designed to introduce students to the basics of quantum information science have the opportunity to disrupt some of the systemic inequities that currently plague our educational systems.
To learn more about how dust particles may affect future missions, NASA has awarded $1M to a team from CU Boulder's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) to develop a dust analyzer capable of measuring the speed, size and charge of tiny dust particles on rocky bodies less than 5 kilometers across.
Priority areas for this cycle include complex Earth sensing, soil carbon capture data and analytics, methane emissions analysis, extreme weather modeling, wildfire risk and prediction, and water availability prediction.
Learn how CU Boulder is making a difference—from environmental sciences to music, from space to the social sciences, and from education to quantum science and technology.
The bi-weekly Research & Innovation Office Bulletin provides critical information and updates to maintain and grow CU Boulder's research, scholarship and creative activity.
The monthly Research & Innovation Office eNews is a snapshot of the latest CU Boulder research news, collaborations, events and engagement opportunities for prospective partners in a wide range of industries.
