Faculty and Students Prepare for Summer Research
Professors and affiliates across the university are engaged in summer research with students. In the Kinesiology and Public Health Department, the Frost Summer Research Program will pay stipends to several students working on real-world research.
Thanks to a $110 million gift from alumnus William Frost (B.S., Biochemistry, 1972) and his wife, Linda, more than 400 students in the College of Science and Mathematics receive $2,500 research stipends each summer. Center affiliates in kinesiology and public health will work on the projects below thanks to the Frosts’ generosity.
