Details about each proposal are below


 

CMU Center for Driving Evaluation, Education and Research   (200748)

The Center will be a collaborative effort to offer evaluations of cognitive fitness to drive 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   (200750)

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

CMU/Flint Partnership  (200751)

The CMU/Flint Partnership project  has the dual purpose of 1) recruitment and 2) retention of students from the 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 (200754)
This project will link together 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.
