Congresswoman Capps at Cal Poly to Outline Federal Stimulus Awards
SAN LUIS OBISPO -- Cal Poly professors and students joined Congresswoman Lois Capps at a press conference on campus July 2 to outline university funding awards from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
To date, Cal Poly professors and students have received over half a million dollars in federal economic stimulus funding to help pay for research and teaching opportunities at the university over the next two years.
Stimulus funding already awarded to Cal Poly includes a $26,000 grant from The National Institutes of Health to fund high school and college student research opportunities at the university, renowned for its cutting-edge research. The total allocation of $26,543 will allow Cal Poly to hire one high school student and one college undergraduate to conduct original research at Cal Poly this summer and next summer.
