The achievements, scholarly productivity and creative works of UNCW’s research leaders were formally applauded at the 16th annual research celebration on Sept. 28. The event recognized those who have participated in extramurally sponsored research in the form of proposals or awards within the preceding academic year and celebrated significant research accomplishments and impact.
“Congratulations to all of the UNCW researchers whose work contributed to the huge success and impact of the institution’s research and creative activities last year,” said Stuart R. Borrett, Associate Provost for Research and Innovation. “While there are many success metrics for this work, I want to highlight and thank the more than 300 faculty, staff and students who served as investigators on proposals submitted or awards received from external sponsors last year. These funds provide important fuel to translate questions and ideas into positive outcomes.”
