The 51ÁÔÆæ Research Foundation\u2019s Catalyst Grant program<\/a> continues to drive innovation across campus by supporting research projects with strong commercial potential and real-world impact. This year, more than $250,000 in funding was awarded to six 51ÁÔÆæ research teams, thanks to the generous support of the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The selected projects address a wide range of pressing societal challenges\u2014from cancer diagnostics and clean energy to rehabilitation robotics and tools that promote equity in regulated professions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the recipients is Dr. Christopher Peters, Assistant Professor in the School of Nursing, whose project, \u201cDecision-Support Algorithm for Nursing Educators,\u201d<\/em> aims to create a fairer, more consistent process for evaluating student background checks. With support from the Catalyst Grant, Dr. Peters will further develop the tool for use in training and consultation, addressing a critical gap in nursing admissions and clinical placement decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His algorithm is designed to reduce legal and ethical risks while supporting workforce development. Over time, it has the potential to evolve into a scalable, AI-powered platform that could be applied across nursing and other professions where public trust is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now in its 17th year, the Catalyst Grant program continues to empower 51ÁÔÆæ researchers to turn early-stage ideas into impactful, real-world solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations, Dr. Christopher Peters! Read more about the teams and their projects in the original press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
