The Office of Student Research (OSR) at Illinois State University announced the winners of the Spring 2023 FIREbird research grants. The FIREbird program engages undergraduate students in intensive, faculty-mentored research that they might not otherwise pursue due to time constraints, the need for research supplies, or access to research materials.

This is the first year for a spring competition. The fall competition winners will be announced in October.

Winners include:

Adeline Bowen of Vandalia, Illinois, Department of Geography, Geology, and the Environment, for "Internal Factors that Influence Overall Rock Strength: St. Peter Sandstone in Starved Rock State Park, Illinois" with faculty mentor Dr. Lisa Tranel.

Eaman Saleh of Forsyth, Illinois, School of Biological Sciences, "Evaluation of Dimethyl Fumarate and Sulfasalazine in Tandem with Electrical Stimulation on Glioma ROS Production" with faulty mentor Dr. Marjorie Jones.

Justin So of Mundelein, Illinois, Mennonite College of Nursing, "Leveraging Children's Oral and Gut Microbiomes" with faculty mentor Dr. Susana Calderon.

OSR funds diverse students from a variety of disciplines across campus to reflect the richness of research, scholarly creativity, and innovation at Illinois State University.
