Grant Description
This project seeks to enhance and integrate several distinctive programs at Roger Williams University (RWU), including a shellfish nursery, aquatic diagnostic laboratory, research and teaching space for chemistry, the Marine Affairs Institute, and a nascent food studies program. These programs aim to provide education to RWU students and extension services to the wider community.
Equipment purchased through funding will support the development of a public-use upwelling facility, expand current aquatic diagnostic service capabilities to include histology, outfit a state-of-the-art teaching and research laboratory related to aquatic ecosystem health, and allow for providing extension services to small businesses engaged in food production and processing.
Activities will be phased in over a three-year interval. Building capacity in the shellfish nursery upweller facility, chemistry laboratory, and food science equipment inventory will be the primary activities in year one. Engaging a legal researcher will occur in...
