Lundeberg Awarded Grant from NSF

Mary Lundeberg, a co-director and principal investigator in the Literacy Achievement Research Center at Michigan State University, has been awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation to develop computer simulations of laboratory procedures employed by research scientists, along with a series of cases for investigative, problem-based learning involving bioinformatics (i.e., the study of how individuals, organizations, and systems process information).   The four-year, multi-institution project will focus the designing cases on biomedical problems like cancer, malaria, STDs, and food-borne pathogens such as E. coli.
