(KBIA) -
Truman State University has received a 900 thousand dollar grant from the National Science Foundation to support a five-year research program. The research will focus on relationships between mathematical and biological sciences. For example, mathematically plotting out the echo patterns of bats in caves. Jason Miller, an associate professor of mathematics at Truman, will serve as the principal investigator involved with the grant.
We're open to looking at all sorts of questions, any sort of questions to which we think the tools and techniques of the mathematical sciences; statistics, mathematics, computer sciences can help biologists answer more of their questions.
This is not the first time the NSF has funded research at Truman. Last year, the school received a grant for supporting undergraduate and faculty work in mathematical biology.
