Drexel University, an AWIS Institution Partner, is proud to announce that four faculty members have received AWIS Bridge Grants. These grants offer financial support to researchers who have been affected by cuts to federal funding. Bridge Grant Recipients are either assistant professors or non-tenured faculty or tenured professors, who will use the $5,000 award to support their trainees. These awards are possible due to a generous grant from the Every Page Foundation.
“We are grateful to Every Page Foundation for their partnership in supporting early-career scientists who have lost federal research funding,” said Meredith Gibson, AWIS CEO. “We hope these awards will help our members to reach their next milestone so they may continue making valuable contributions to their fields during this challenging period.”
The Drexel Recipients are
- Kristal Lyn Brown, PhD, MSPH, Assistant Professor
- Jane Ellen Clougherty, ScD, Professor
- Ahmad Raeisi Najafi, PhD, Associate Professor
- Gail Rosen, PhD, Professor
