Bard Professor Craig Anderson Awarded $375,699 Grant from the National Science Foundation

Craig Anderson, Wallace Benjamin Flint and L. May Hawver Professor of Chemistry and director of undergraduate research in the Division of Science, Mathematics, and Computing at Bard, has been awarded a Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The proposal has been awarded $375,699 in funding, and focuses on examining the effects that ligand architecture and metal oxidation state have on the properties of luminescent platinum compounds. This is Anderson's fourth NSF RUI since 2011, with the four totaling over $1,000,000 for research with Bard College undergraduate students. The three previous awards have supported the publication of sixteen research articles with more than seventy undergraduate coauthorships.

“I am extremely excited as this award provides opportunities for our undergraduate students to participate in research projects,” said Anderson. “I think undergraduate research is one of the highest impact practices that contributes to the success of our students. I would like to thank my students, my chemistry colleagues, Bard OIS, and Bard College leadership for their assistance with this proposal.”

RUI proposals support Primarily Undergraduate Institutions faculty in research that engages them in their professional fields, builds capacity for research at their home institution, and supports the integration of research and undergraduate education.

The NSF is an independent federal agency that supports science and engineering in all 50 states and US territories. It was established in 1950 by Congress to promote the progress of science, advance the nation’s health, prosperity and welfare, and to secure the US national defense. Its investments account for about 25% of federal support to US colleges and universities for research driven by curiosity and discovery. NSF aims to keep the US at the leading edge of discovery in science and engineering, to the benefit of all, without barriers to participation.
