HIMB’s Judy Lemus Joins Team of UH Manoa Faculty to Win One of 16 UH Manoa Provost’s Strategic Investment Competition Awards

This competition is designed to increase cross-unit and cross-disciplinary collaboration in strategic areas that, with start-up funding, have a strong possibility for success in building on UH Mānoa’s strengths while also addressing challenges.

Winning Proposal:  Early Undergraduate Course in Transformational Research Experiences (T-REx)

A place-based research course for freshman and sophomore students that will take advantage of the research expertise within the major STEM Organized Research Units, using a “ridge to reef” integrated systems approach. The course will provide students with a distinct opportunity to engage with a curriculum that emphasizes an integrated perspective of Hawaiʻi‘s diverse natural and social ecosystems.
