UH receives $1.3 million in science research grants

Advertiser Staff

More than $1.3 million has been awarded to the University of Hawai'i by the National Science Foundation for two research projects.

One project, which received an award of nearly $1 million, will measure how the use of networked computers affects learning algebra concepts among middle school students.

The National Science Foundation also awarded more than $300,000 to researchers from UH, Oregon State University and the University of South Carolina to examine denitrification and nitrogen fixation in the Gulf of California and the adjacent waters of the eastern tropical North Pacific.
