OSU Scores National Science Foundation Awards
May 7, 2021
And the grants from National Science Foundation grants go to – drumroll please – early-career faculty in the Oregon State University College of Engineering! One for the study of mass timber use and building construction, another for researching how to safely produce hydrogen gas from seawater, and the last for bettering species distribution models.
The recipients of these awards, called Faculty Early Career Development, or CAREER awards, are Erica Fischer, Kelsey Stoerzinger, and Rebecca Hutchinson.
Fischer is an assistant professor of civil and construction engineering. She was selected for her proposal to create change in the way modular buildings are constructed from timber, something that she notes is due for an update.
The SoulsvilleUSA Neighborhoods Development District is proposing a TIF district in parts of South Memphis. Author: Jalyn Souchek Updated: 5:17 PM CDT May 6, 2021
MEMPHIS, Tenn. If there s one thing missing from South Memphis - it isn t soul.
“We have an underserved community, that while it has enjoyed some investment in the community, it is still sorely underinvested, Rebecca Hutchinson said.
Hutchinson is the Board of Directors President for the SoulsvilleUSA Neighborhoods Development District, the community alliance behind a proposed TIF district upwards of $150 million for South Memphis neighborhoods.
A TIF district averts taxes paid within the district boundaries to redevelopment of that same area.
