The University at Buffalo has gotten a $3.1 million grant from the National Science Foundation for its graduate environmental science programs.
The grant will fund the work of 25 doctoral students in its Ecosystem Restoration Through Interdisciplinary Exchange program, known appropriately as ERIE. The interdisciplinary program focuses on the ecosystem of the Great Lakes and incorporates U.S., Canadian and Native American perspectives on it. The latter is appropriate, and not only because of the geography: UB Professor Don Grinde is an environmental historian and a Yamasee Indian.
ERIE students will work with seven different departments in the engineering school and UB's College of Arts and Sciences. The university says they may also may work with UB Law School and at Buffalo State College, Niagara University and several Canadian universities. UB was one of only 20 schools selected for the grant, which comes under the NSF's Integrative Graduate Education Research and Traineeship program.
