A research team led by Abraam Yakoub, assistant professor in the UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences  Department of Biomedical Sciences, has been awarded a five-year, $4.5 million award from the National Institutes of Health for a project proposal that has the potential to “push the boundaries” of research on COVID-19. Yakoub and his […]

The Indigenous Trauma & Resilience Research Center (ITRRC) is announcing a new pilot grant program for 2022-23. These one-year pilot grants are designed to fund research addressing the impact of historical and unresolved trauma on health inequities within the American Indian (AI) and Alaska Native (AN) populations. Background/Purpose: The ITRRC is funded through the Centers […]

The Nature Index database is compiled by Nature Research and includes only 82 high-quality journals selected by “an independently selected group.” In the area of environmental engineering and science, only two journals (Environmental Science & Technology and Water Research) are tracked by the Nature Index database. UND engineering graduate and undergraduate students recently published peer-reviewed […]

The University has received a $45,000 RAPID Grant from the National Science Foundation to conduct fog measurements. The grant will support two month-long observational periods near Hector International Airport in Fargo to improve the understanding of fog processes and related atmospheric interactions, such as clouds, aerosols and turbulence. The observations will take place this fall […]
