Education faculty receive AU competitive outreach grants
July 9, 2008
Two faculty members in the Auburn University College of Education were among Outreach Scholarship Grant Program Award recipients announced by the AU Office of University Outreach. Research proposals were evaluated on their potential to increase the quality of lives and services for individuals, organizations, counties and/or towns throughout the state of Alabama.
Dr. Gregory Ern, an assistant professor of school psychology, received a grant for his proposal "Alabama Partnership for Research and Training on Positive Academic and Behavior Supports."
Dr. Peggy Shippen, an assistant professor of special education, received a grant for her proposal "Enhancing the Educational Skills of Alabama's Prison Population (EESAPP)."
Both grants were approved for a preliminary budget of $15,000.
The competitive Outreach Scholarship Grant Program received nearly 30 applications and is funding six proposals.
