NIH T32 BioE Training Grant
2021 – 2022NSF National I-Corps Program Grant
2021The National Science Foundation's Innovation Corps (I-Corps™) program offers experiential education to equip researchers with valuable insights into entrepreneurship, business startup, and industry demands and challenges. I-Corps serves as a catalyst for turning inventions into real-world impact, combining scientific exploration with industrial discovery in a rigorous, relevant, and evidence-based environment. This program empowers researchers to accelerate the transition of lab concepts to market-ready solutions, contributing to a national innovation network that transforms scientific research into societal benefits.
NASA Space Grant Fellowship
2019 – 2021Initiated in 1989, the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Project, or Space Grant, is a national network of colleges and universities aimed at expanding opportunities for Americans to engage in NASA’s aeronautics and space projects. This includes supporting science and engineering education, research, and public outreach efforts to enhance understanding and participation in space exploration and related fields.
Chevron Scholarship for Women in Stem
2018 – 2019The Chevron Scholarship for Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields supports self-identified women majoring in STEM. Created for the Women's Resource Center, this scholarship aims to encourage and assist women pursuing education and careers in science, technology, engineering, or math.
Bioscience Undergraduate Research Scholar
2015 – 2017Awarded by the Department of Biology at the University of Utah, this recognition supports and acknowledges outstanding undergraduate students engaged in bioscience research. The program aims to foster a deeper understanding and passion for scientific inquiry among bioscience students through active participation in research projects and initiatives.
NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates Grant
2015 – 2016Associated with the Neural Information Lab and Dr. Chuck Alan Dorval, the NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program encourages active research participation by undergraduate students in areas funded by the National Science Foundation. This initiative aims to provide undergraduates with hands-on research experience, fostering a deeper engagement and understanding in their field of study.
ACCESS Program for Women in STEM Scholar
2014 – 2015A scholarship award and first-year experience designed specifically for incoming fresh-women with a keen interest in the sciences, including math, biology, chemistry, or physics. The ACCESS Program supports and encourages women embarking on their journey in STEM fields, aiming to provide them with foundational support, mentorship, and engagement in their chosen disciplines.
