Jamie Shinn and WVU research team exploring how West Virginians bounce back after disastrous flooding

A team of  West Virginia University researchers is studying resiliency in flood-devastated communities with support from the National Science Foundation by delving into lessons learned from one of the deadliest West Virginia floods in recent memory. 

The West Virginia University Eberly College of Arts and Sciences has expanded the role of its Center for Resilient Communities to support college-wide efforts that foster community-engaged research with undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty.

WVU researchers envision police as community partners, not adversaries

West Virginia University sociologists James Nolan and Henry Brownstein hope to shift the primary focus of policing from law enforcement activities, such as making arrests and seizing large quantities of guns and drugs, to helping residents create the conditions in their communities where crime and violence are less likely to thrive.

WVU Biology Professor Kevin Daly stands in his laboratory where he researches brain circuits. Daly was awarded $1.6 million from the National Science Foundation to expand his area of research.

New WVU bioenergy model provides reduced-carbon renewable energy source

An innovative bioenergy model developed at West Virginia University called “FUN-BioCROP” will help farmers better man age production while also boosting a renewable energy source that will not increase atmospheric carbon dioxide.

A coalition of West Virginia University researchers is working together to address the state’s most pressing water issues through Bridge, a campus-wide science and technology policy, leadership and communications initiative. The impetus for the initiative is to translate the work of WVU researchers to policymakers as part of the University’s land-grant mission.

A new initiative aims to bridge the gap between science and policy, names inaugural faculty fellows

More than two dozen WVU researchers are addressing the state's most pressing water issues through the Bridge Initiative's Waters of West Virginia project.

West Virginia University researchers are part of a team that was recently awarded $17 million from the National Science Foundation for the renewal of the NANOGrav Physics Frontiers Center. Maura McLaughlin and Sarah Burke-Spolaor, both faculty in the Department of Physics and Astronomy in the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences, will direct WVU’s $3.9 million share of the award.
