ONE NSU MAGAZINE NSU PARTNERS IN $16-MILLION CORAL REEF PROGRAM Thanks to a four-year, $16-million grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded to researchers at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, NSU and nine other South Florida entities will be partnering to develop and scale up new approaches to increase the climate resilience of Florida’s restored coral reefs. The collaborative effort is designed to translate new research into transformative restoration action and unite the participating entities to form a network that shares new knowledge, resources, and best practices to maximize the ability of newly restored corals to survive climate change impacts. Pictured from left at the check presentation ceremony are Ronald J. Chenail, Ph.D., executive vice president, provost, and chief academic officer; George L. Hanbury II, Ph.D., president emeritus; Michelle A. Clark, Ph.D., dean of the Barry and Judy Silverman College of Pharmacy; U.S. Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, M.A.; Harry K. Moon, M.D., FACS, FRCSEd, NSU president and CEO; Irving Rosenbaum, D.P.A., Ed.D., M.P.A., vice president for health professions operations; Susan Horovitz Maurer, J.D., founding partner at Panza Maurer; and Ken Dawson-Scully, Ph.D., M.Sc., senior vice president for research and associate provost. NSU received $963,000 from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to help detect genetic differences among women that may make some more vulnerable to cancers and other diseases. The funding will enable NSU’s Barry and Judy Silverman College of Pharmacy to acquire advanced diagnostic equipment essential for early detection. The university believes research enabled by this federal funding will provide new measurement techniques, uniform and standardized methods to evaluate data, and evidence-based recommendations for early detection and diagnosis.
