UAH alumna and UAH researchers receive nearly $200,000 for upcoming projects »

Five faculty members and researchers at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) have been awarded with $199,037 from the UAH Research Infrastructure Fund Program (RIF), an initiative of the Office for the Vice President for Research and Economic Development (OVPRED).

"I am delighted to be able to support the fine work of our faculty and to seed their research efforts that show promise for additional external funding," says Dr. Ray Vaughn, UAH’s Vice President for Research and Economic Development. "I’m very appreciative of the work that the selection panel did to make funding recommendations given the many competitive proposals we received."

UAH's new proof-of-concept facility serves as springboard for I²C initiative »

Construction began in late 2017 on the facility that will house the Dorothy S. Davidson Invention to Innovation Center (I²C), which will serve as a regional resource offering leadership and support to entrepreneurs looking to collaborate and build companies. It is scheduled to open in early 2019, but that hasn’t prevented some of its future occupants from getting a jump start on the initiatives they plan to bring to the center.

ATO’s Battle of the Buffalo fundraiser turns 10 this year »

It started as homage to fraternity brother Paul "Fish" Salmon, who died of leukemia, and now Alpha Tau Omega’s (ATO) Battle of the Buffalo (BOTB) chicken wing extravaganza is going to celebrate 10 years as an annual fundraising event that raises money for cancer research.

BOTB is a chicken wing festival put on by the fraternity at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) where local restaurants and amateur cooks will compete with their tastiest wings in an effort to be crowned best of the Tennessee Valley.
