Grainger VIP Impact Report

LINE ROALD Assistant Professor, Grainger Institute Fellow

I plan to use the discretionary funds for activities that help disseminate the results of our research to a wider audience. This ranges from covering the cost of public outreach events in Wisconsin (such as preparing activities for the Wisconsin Science Festival), enabling travel to international conferences and workshops, and helping cover mundane but crucial expenses involved in research dissemination, such as publication fees.

The Grainger funds have been invaluable in the growth of our research group the past couple of years. With new incoming students, our research lab was in great need of more lab computers and equipment, as well as upgrades to our current machines. In our research area, keeping up to date with the state-of-the-art machines is vital for increasing productivity and enhancing the student experience. The funds were also spent on supporting research assistants and providing them the resources to develop new open-sourced software and hardware tools for both research and pedagogical use. Our group is very thankful for the generous support.
