The five-year grant willfund an education project focused on resilience <strong>and</strong> adaptivegovernance in stressed watersheds. Doctoral students from manydisciplines across the natural, computational <strong>and</strong> social scienceswill study resilience <strong>and</strong> adaptive management strategies forstressed watersheds in the U.S. <strong>and</strong> Eastern Europe. The programwill integrate scientific, socioeconomic <strong>and</strong> legal aspects involvedin studying <strong>and</strong> managing complex systems <strong>of</strong> people <strong>and</strong> nature.Becker, DonaldBiochemistryRedox Biology Center$10,202,043 NIH-NCRR8/1/07 – 7/31/12Donald Becker, pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> biochemistry inthe Institute <strong>of</strong> Agriculture <strong>and</strong> NaturalResources, is the director <strong>of</strong> the RedoxBiology Center. Established in 2002 with agrant from the National Institutes <strong>of</strong> Healthas a Center <strong>of</strong> Biomedical ResearchExcellence, the center received a competitiverenewal grant in 2007 to support it through 2012. The center’sresearchers investigate how cells maintain a reduction-oxidationbalance, a process called redox homeostasis, <strong>and</strong> study linksbetween redox homeostasis <strong>and</strong> diseases such as cancer,cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease <strong>and</strong> cataracts. Thecenter’s research will provide important advances in theunderst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> redox regulation, comprising aspects <strong>of</strong> cellularaging <strong>and</strong> controlled cell death.AWARDS OF $3 MILLION OR MORE3
