<p>A great award in a time of relative grant scarcity…</p>

<p>

For more than five decades, Florida State University has been home to one of the nation’s most respected programs in experimental nuclear physics. Now, that program has received a major vote of confidence from the National Science Foundation in the form of a $5 million grant to fund ongoing research into some of the fundamental properties of matter.</p>

<p>The three-year grant will support a continuing research project titled “Studies of Nuclear Reactions and Structure” that was previously awarded $4.4 million by the NSF in 2008. Using FSU’s John D. Fox Superconducting Accelerator Laboratory, members of the physics faculty use the NSF funding to conduct cutting-edge research in experimental nuclear physics while also preparing graduate students for high-level careers in such fields as defense, homeland security, nuclear medicine, industry, academia and basic research.
