The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Idaho State University $745,287 on August 15, 2026, to acquire a variable pressure scanning electron microscope (SEM) for nano and micro-scale imaging, elemental analysis, and materials science research under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083). The SEM will replace outdated equipment and serve as a shared institutional resource to advance microanalytical research capacity and strengthen the university and region's analytical infrastructure. The instrument will support interdisciplinary research and teaching across science, engineering, and applied research fields, with applications spanning forensic analysis and skeletal histology (human identification, trauma timing, dental and skeletal microstructure analysis, diet reconstruction, taphonomic research), paleoecological and paleoenvironmental research (microfossil and sediment analysis, organic and inorganic residue examination, human-environment interaction evidence), geosciences (rock and mineral characterization, geochronology), and related domains. The SEM will expand access for university collaborators, community partners, and industry users and improve student training opportunities. Performance occurs in Pocatello, Idaho, with a period of performance through July 31, 2029. This is a Project Grant assistance type funding the acquisition of research infrastructure to build capacity for science and engineering research and education.
