Carleton Summer 2005 Research
In summer 2005, thirty-eight (38) students did research with Carleton faculty in six science and math departments. Our HHMI grant supported twelve (12) of these students. Another 26 students were supported by Carleton College and external sources (private foundations and government agencies including NSF and NIH).
