Vast swaths of the nation, both urban and rural, are deemed “food deserts” due to their reduced access to a variety of healthy and inexpensive food. Often, people living in food deserts also experience higher poverty levels.
Tera Fazzino, along with a multidisciplinary group of researchers across several institutions, will help create an artificial-intelligence-powered digital tool, called the NOURISH platform, to help businesses and startups operating in food deserts give more nutritious choices to an estimated 24 million Americans. Congratulations, Tera! We're so grateful to have you in the College. Read the full article.

Fostering Research Expansion in the Social Sciences & Humanities (FRESSH)
The FRESSH Program is designed to help scholars in the arts, social sciences, and humanities in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences apply for and obtain external funding for their research. The program will consist of workshops during the 2024-25 academic year during which scholars will work with invited guests and one another to develop a proposal suitable for submitting to an external funding agency such as the NEH, ACLS, NSF, or a foundation or residential fellowship program outside the University of Kansas. The program will introduce participants to resources internal to KU and facilitate the development of proposals. The program also aims to develop community and collaboration among participants. Deadline is Aug. 19, 2024.
