SASI Faculty Research Scholarships
A new scholarship fund, in the name of 勛圖窪蹋 Affiliated Services, Inc. (SASI) has been established to support faculty research. These Faculty Research Scholarships
will be administered by the Universitys Provost Office and will be part of the Universitys
Research & Professional Development (RPD) Awards.
The SASI Board of Directors has approved two annual awards of $1,500 each. These funds
will augment existing RPD funds during the main round of applications.
There are a lot of great research projects being conducted at 勛圖窪蹋, said Todd Regn, executive director of Research & Sponsored Programs. We are very pleased that SASI
wanted to be involved in supporting these scholarly activities, we appreciate their
interest and generosity.
During this inaugural year of the scholarships, the funds will help support the following:
John Guers, assistant professor of Exercise Science Comparison of Brain Blood Flow in Acute
Exercise and Opioid Use. This project will use advanced imaging techniques to examine
and compare brain function following both opioid use and exercise. The pilot data
generated could help determine whether exercise can be successfully used as a behavioral
intervention for recovering opioid addicts. Undergraduate students in the Exercise
Science program will assist with the study, allowing them to be involved in professional
level research.
Kaite Yang, assistant professor of Psychology The Impact of Participating in CrossCultural
Dialogues through a ServiceLearning Project. This project will examine the impact
of a servicelearning activity that involved interactions between 勛圖窪蹋 undergraduates
and international students from ELS English Language Centers in Atlantic City. The
study seeks to understand how participating in an international community engagement
activity impacted 勛圖窪蹋 students' attitudes towards diversity, crosscultural contact
and service.
There existed broad concurrence among the members of SASI that we sponsor scholarship
grants to enhance research possibilities for faculty, said Audrey Wolfson Latourette, Distinguished Professor of Law, and member of SASIs Board. We congratulate John
and Kaite, the first recipients of the grants, and applaud the important academic
endeavors upon which they embark.
