Corrella Detweiler, professor of molecular, cellular and developmental biology, and Wei Zhang, professor of chemistry and chair of the Chemistry Department, have been named senior members of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI). Senior members of the NAI are active faculty, scientists and administrators who have been successful in patents, licensing and commercialization and have produced technologies that have been or aspire to be transformational.

A new NASA report shows that ����������ý�Ļ���Ʒ is the top university recipient of NASA astrophysics technology grants. The majority of this funding was granted to researchers at LASP and the Center for Astrophysics and Space Astronomy (CASA), a center affiliated with the Department of Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences.

The Research and Innovation Office is excited to announce its annual National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Fellowship Peer Editing Workshop Series, facilitated by RIO Proposal Writer/Editor Donna Axel. The virtual program, which begins on January 26, is designed to assist faculty in submitting a proposal to the NEH Fellowships, due April 12, 2023.

Rubén Donato, the Bob & Judy Charles Endowed Chair and a professor of Educational Foundations, Policy and Practice in the School of Education, will deliver his in-person lecture “An Elusive Quest: Mexican American Resistance to School Segregation in the United States” at 4 p.m. on Jan. 31 in the Chancellor's Hall and Auditorium, Center for Academic Success and Engagement (CASE).

Gijs de Boer—a senior research scientist in CIRES and the NOAA Physical Sciences Laboratory—has been named director of national laboratory partnerships, a newly established, part-time role that will focus on expanding ����������ý�Ļ���Ʒ’s research collaborations with national laboratories.

Highlights from ����������ý�Ļ���Ʒ’s research, scholarship and creative work in 2021-22 paint a compelling picture of our progress towards our strategic imperatives. ����������ý�Ļ���Ʒ again attracted record levels of research funding this year—$658 million in gifts and awards, including $474 million from federal agencies.

According to a new report from the Leeds School of Business, commercialization activities led by Venture Partners at ����������ý�Ļ���Ʒ had an economic impact of $8 billion nationally and $5.2 billion in the state of Colorado over the last five years—a four-fold increase in impact since 2019.

The intercampus program stimulates innovative research collaborations and progress toward solving some of our world’s most pressing health problems. After receiving funding from the AB Nexus grant program, awarded teams have attracted $13 million in outside funding and published more than 20 peer-reviewed research studies.

CIRES/����������ý�Ļ���Ʒ and NOAA researchers contributed to two of the four awarded projects—one for rapid-response science in service to communities after the Marshall Fire, and another for a breakthrough space weather model that serves several economic sectors with better impact forecasts.

The Research & Innovation Office has announced the 2023 RIO Faculty Fellows cohort, which includes 17 faculty members from departments and research institutes spanning the campus.
