Project Grant 2119978

This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities provides $173,236 to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater for its "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GP-IN: CONNECTED TO EARTH: CROSS-CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE FOR ADVANCING EARTH SCIENCE LEARNING" program. The funding supports the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system.

Specifically, the University will use the award to advance Earth science learning through cross-cultural knowledge exchange. Over the three-year period ending August 2024, the University is expected to deliver collaborative research and knowledge sharing that strengthens understanding of Earth processes and systems across cultural contexts. The funding amount of $173,236 will support these research and outreach efforts to integrate Earth science learning more fully.
