Boise State Now Has Over 85 National Science Foundation Active Awards

While the Boise, Idaho and national media have been sleeping, Boise State has accumulated more than 85 active National Science Foundation awards and subawards, and over 100 faculty members are principal and co-principal investigators.  

"Boise State faculty have been extraordinarily successful in the merit review process.  They have excellent ideas and also take great care in presenting their proposals," said Sue Kemnitzer, the NSF's Deputy Director of the Electrical, Communications, and Cyber Systems Division in the Directorate for Engineering.

"I think one of Boise State's strengths is that its proposals have a very healthy and genuine interdisciplinary character, which is very special.  It's actually quite rare.  It's excellent for students because that's how the world works."
