Annual Report- Part III - Florida Energy Systems Consortium

2. Competitive Grants Received by All SUS Faculty in Energy AreaDuring Oct. 1, 2011 to Sep 30, 2011 Period (Back to top)All SUS energy faculty information is listed below to show the scope of the SUS research program. Thisinformation might be helpful in forming collaborative teams, informing the outside world (e.g., industry) ofFESC's research interests. The information was collected through the databases at each university,published news releases, and faculty input.The SUS faculty received 274 research and education awards totaling $64,473,021 during the twelvemonthperiod of Oct 1, 2011 through Sep 30, 2012. Note many of the awards were based on proposalssubmitted prior to this period, but the number demonstrates the competitiveness of the SUS faculty in thisarena. The information was collected through the databases at each university, published news releases, andfaculty input. The database information was reviewed carefully and listings that are not energy related toenergy were deleted.# Faculty University Source/Agency Project Title Start Date End Date Amount1 S.
