The National Science Foundation awarded Jackson State University a $539,710 project grant under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) to conduct research titled "CAREER: CLIMATE RESILIENT LANDSLIDE REPAIR ON EXPANSIVE SOIL USING VETIVER GRASS" from May 1, 2021 to April 30, 2026. The grant will support Jackson State University's research into using vetiver grass to strengthen expansive soils and enable more resilient repair of landslides. The NSF Directorate for Engineering seeks to improve quality of life and economic strength by fostering innovation and excellence in engineering research, and this project aims to develop techniques that can help mitigate risks from landslides in variable soil conditions.
