STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014 A National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to fund construction of a research laboratory at Tarleton State University\u2019s Timberlake Biological Field Station has been awarded to Interim Dean of the College of Science and Mathematics Dr. Kevin B. Johnson and Associate Professor Dr. Victoria Chraibi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The $190,350 award, originally developed and proposed to NSF by Drs. Philip Sudman, Michael Huggins and Chraibi, will provide support for the first of two research buildings at the field station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The award comes from a program intended to build infrastructure at field stations,\u201d said Dr. Johnson. \u201cThis will be the first dedicated research lab building at Tarleton’s Timberlake Field Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis building is the beginning of the expansion of research capacity at the field station, and we are excited to have a facility for faculty and their students to conduct their research in a comfortable and safe environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Research to be conducted in the new facility will include aquatic ecology, entomology, botany, herpetology and environmental science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new research laboratory will contribute to the Timberlake Biological Field Station\u2019s mission as a model resource focused on research, education and outreach associated with the ecological integrity of the area\u2019s unique ecoregions. The facility will serve undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty at Tarleton State, as well as visiting researchers from collaborating institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
