Fort Lewis College will be swimming in the big leagues with its share of a new five-year $94-million grant from the National Science Foundation intended to prepare students for careers in the sciences after graduation.
STROBE, the Science and Technology Center on Real-Time Functional Imaging has been awarded a $24 Million grant from the National Science Foundation, or NSF. This grant will be used to develop technology in imaging, nano, bio and energy sciences at CU Boulder, which is already recognized as a leader in the field. Physicists, mathematicians, chemists and biologists at CU will work together to develop new technologies and expand research with this sizeable, five-year grant.
UC Berkeley will help lead the new Science and Technology Center on Real-Time Functional Imaging, which aims to tackle major scientific challenges by improving imaging technology.
The center, which includes scientists from UC Berkeley, UCLA and the University of Colorado Boulder, will receive $24 million from the National Science Foundation (NSF) over a five-year period, with the possibility of a continuation for five additional years. Naomi S. Ginsberg, associate professor of chemistry and physics and member of the Kavli Energy NanoScience Institute at Berkeley, will lead the efforts for UC Berkeley.
Ambitious, complex research that leads to breakthrough discoveries requires large-scale, long-term investments. Today, the National Science Foundation (NSF) announces $94 million in funding to support four new Science and Technology Centers (STCs), partnerships that lay the foundations for advances in fields ranging from cell biology and mechanobiology to particle physics and materials science.
The University of Colorado at Boulder and Fort Lewis College in Durango are two colleges that will share in a National Science Foundation (NSF) imaging science $24 million grant.
The schools, along with four others in the U.S., are launching the Science and Technology Center on Real-Time Functional Imaging, or STROBE, which will have its headquarters at CU-Boulder.
The Science and Technology Center on Real-Time Functional Imaging, known as STROBE, will be headquartered at CU Boulder and will integrate several areas of imaging science and technology, including photon and electron-based imaging, advanced algorithms, big data analysis and adaptive imaging. Named for its relation to stroboscopic imaging, the center is designed to tackle major scientific challenges that have the potential to transform imaging science and technology.

UCLA is helping to lead the new, cutting-edge Science and Technology Center on Real-Time Functional Imaging. The center is funded by a five-year, $24 million award from the National Science Foundation, and includes renowned scientists from the University of Colorado, Boulder, and UC Berkeley. It will tackle major scientific challenges in the physical sciences, life sciences and engineering.
CU Boulder will expand its role as a national leader in imaging, materials, nano, bio and energy sciences as part of a collaborative partnership awarded $24 million by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to launch a new center.
