Grants for Water Quality Research
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Academic
The Duke Energy Foundation is handing out grants totaling $500,000 to fund water quality research and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education at the University of Cincinnati and Thomas More College
UC plans to use the money to complete a groundwater quality monitoring station and create a summer environmental research training program for K-12 science teachers.
Thomas More will use part of the grant to boost its fish and water quality research programs at its biology field station in Campbell County, Ky. The other part will be used to expand its STEM partnerships with teachers and students across the region.
In a statement, Jim Henning, president of Duke Energy Ohio & Kentucky, says, "The University of Cincinnati and Thomas More College have created inventive frameworks for programs that will positively impact our environment and the development of the future STEM workforce. Education and sustainability are the keys to success, and we believe both schools' plans for expanding their water research programs will have positive, lasting impacts on our region."
