The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Colgate University a $439,805 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA #47.083) to acquire a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and associated detectors. The FE-SEM system will enable a wide range of new research opportunities for students and faculty at Colgate and in the greater Central New York region, supporting fundamental research in areas such as geology, environmental science, physics, biology, and anthropology. The FE-SEM will also provide technical training in advanced electron microscopy techniques for undergraduate students and allow for educational outreach to high school students through Colgate's existing community programs. The grant award date is September 1, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2027. No sub-awards are planned for this project.
