Reed Profs Win $2.2 Million in Grants, Set 10-Year Record

From parasitic wasps to the Moroccan diaspora, Reed profs win grants for their work.

By Randall S. Barton

Professors at Reed won a total of $2,251,849 in research grants in fiscal year 2014-15, the highest figure in at least a decade (and possibly longer).

The eleven professors are pursuing a remarkable range of projects from the venom of parasitic wasps, to the compounds of bismuth, to the Moroccan diaspora.

Prof. Suzy Renn [biology 2006-] won a $618,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to investigate a striking example of maternal behavior—. Her research could shed light on the evolution of maternal instincts and deepen our understanding of metabolic and feeding disorders.

Prof. Erik Zornik [biology 2012–] won a $444,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health to research .

Prof. Todd Schlenke [biology 2013-] won a $373,000 grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, a division of the National Institutes of Health, to study one of nature’s most unforgiving arms races— (May the contest be long and bloody.)

Prof. Alan Shane Dillingham [history 2014-] won a $6,000 summer stipend from the National Endowment for the Humanities to continue .

The total for research grants tops the 10-year record, which was set in FY2003–04. Before that, Reed did not keep a running tally of grants received, so it remains unclear if this is an all-time high.
