The University of Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder’s Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Statistical Analysis (LISA) 2020 project, which aims to build 20 statistical analysis laboratories in low and lower-middle income countries by 2020, has received a $1 million grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

The U.S. Geological Survey has selected a University of Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder team to host the North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center for the next five years, in a move that will foster both innovation and applied research, said new University Director Jennifer Balch.

The University of Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ was awarded a nearly $57.4 million contract with NASA's Langley Research Center to build an instrument to be installed on the outside of the International Space Station. The technology is meant to improve the accuracy of the measurements scientists take of changes on Earth, including climate change.

Using advanced digital imaging technologies, classics professor and archaeologist Dimitri Nakassis is changing long-held perceptions of how prehistoric Greek communities functioned.

University of Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder engineers have developed a 3D printing technique that allows for localized control of an object’s firmness, opening up new biomedical avenues that could one day include artificial arteries and organ tissue.

The inaugural edition of Research & Innovation Week, Oct. 15-19, is filled with events designed to strengthen community and collaboration across campus while demonstrating the broad impact of the work of Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder’s faculty, researchers, postdocs, students and staff.

Hundreds of scientists at the Cooperative Institute for Research and Environmental Sciences (CIRES), a partnership of the University of Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), study earth processes that impact our planet’s varying climate systems, including advanced drought monitoring and Arctic and sea-level change.

One thing that Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ communities share is a vibrant economy of growth industries driven by engineering and high tech. When all four corners of our state are united in promoting this ecosystem, Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ is stronger and more competitive on the national stage.

Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder faculty hit a record milestone in the 2017-18 fiscal year, bringing in $511.1 million in funding for pioneering studies addressing climate change, robotics, indoor farming and more. These preliminary totals top last year’s $507.9 million in sponsored research funding across the university.
