Vision 2010 projects

In the most recent round of CMU 2010 funding, four projects were selected to receive FY07 second-call funding.

Following is a brief synopsis of each funded project. Additional information about each of the proposals is available at www.planning.cmich.edu.

CMU Center for Driving Evaluation, Education and Research

The center will be a collaborative effort to offer evaluations of cognitive fitness for driving to older adults and adults recovering from brain injury and stroke, to provide education on driving safety to older adults, and to provide clinical and research opportunities for faculty and students from diverse disciplines.

Center for Software Development 

This project is to establish a Center for Software Development as a place where students can integrate and apply the knowledge they have learned from course work to real-world projects from customers. Students will be engaged in all aspects of the software development process.

CMU/Flint Partnership 

The CMU/Flint Partnership project has the
dual purpose of recruitment and retention of students from Flint City Schools. The project combines proven recruitment and retention strategies into a comprehensive program of supports and interventions aimed at tripling CMU’s annual enrollment of Flint graduates
by 2009.

The Advanced Materials Research Initiative: Exploiting Synergy to Attain National Prominence in Materials Research at CMU

This project will link the activities of a group of individually successful researchers to create the Advanced Materials Research Initiative at CMU. By giving these researchers a common identity and promoting high-impact, interdisciplinary research projects among them, CMU can attain national prominence in the area of materials research.
