| Professor David Sedlack (US Senior Scholar, 2003) | University of California - Berkeley | University of Queensland and The University of New South Wales | UC Berkeley, Stanford University and Colorado School of Mines are working together to establish a center of excellence to address issues related to urban water supply and water quality. David proposes to establish linkages with the Advanced Water Management Centre in Queenlsnad and the Water Research Centre at UNSW that will lead to collaborative research to identify new ways of providing water to cities in a manner that is safe, reliable and causes minimal environmental impacts. |
| 2008 Alumni Initiative Grant recipients | |||
| Professor Grant Garven (U.S. Senior Scholar, 1998) | Tufts University | University of Tasmania | Through his project he also aims to create a foundation for sustained NSF- and ARC-sponsored research on a fundamental Tufts-UTas economic geology research initiative; develop postgraduate and postdoctoral research opportunities between the two institutions; and foster software development and advancement on this topic |
| Professor Sharon McKinley (Aus. Senior Scholar 1998) | Critical Care Nursing in the Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery and Health at the University of Technology, Sydney | University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) | Through the project Professor McKinley intends to enhance the linkages between UTS and UCSF through joint research and publications, while also increasing opportunities for nursing PhD scholars to gain research training |
Dr Lincoln Turner (Aus. Postdoc. 2005) |
Monash University | The National Institute for Standards & Technology (NIST) and University of Maryland (UMD | Lincoln’s project will involve joint experiments at the host institutions; visits by NIST and UMD researchers to Monash; and the development of two-way student exchange between Monash, NIST and UMD |
| 2007 Alumni Initiative Grant recipients | |||
| Elizabeth Madin (U.S. Postgraduate Scholar, 1999) | Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology (MSI)- University of California, Santa Barbara (UCBS) | Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) | This project will directly benefit AIMS and UCBS's MSI in two primary ways. Scientifically, this work will draw together parallel lines of research currently being pursued by individuals at these institutions in different biogeographic regions. Secondly, this project will provide a formal insitutional linkage between these two world-class marine science institutes. |
| Scott Carroll (U.S. Senior Scholar, 2003) | Centre for Population Biology/Department of Entomology -University of California, Davis | The University of Queensland | This project will build on published discoveries of contemporary evolution in Australian and American ecosystems, and will foster a new applied sub-discipline, 'Evolutionary Conservation Biology'. The collaboration through this project also aims to create an international Centre for Applied Evolution. |
