Three researchers receive EAGER awards
Three Vanderbilt researchers have received an award designed to better understand how complex behaviors emerge from activity on brain circuitry as part of President Obama’s BRAIN Initiative.
Associate Professor of Biological Sciences Donna Webb, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering Deyu Li and Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering Yaqiong Xu received the award, which is for $300,000 over a two-year period. It is one of 36 new Early-concept Grants for Exploratory Research announced this week by the National Science Foundation.
