Sanja Ilic: Establishing science-based strategies for prevention and mitigation of human pathogens in hydroponic specialty crop systems $110,000
Sanja Ilic, Associate Professor, Human NutritionDr. Ilic in her lab focuses on prevention of foodborne diseases. She investigates human pathogens like Salmonella and L. monocytogenes, and their transmission, proliferation and dissemination routes, and interventions to prevent and reduce risks of food contamination and human disease from farm to consumption. The findings of this study for the first time describe human pathogen survival in commercial NFT systems and highlight the urgent need for novel approaches to mitigate the risks from nutrient solution contamination in hydroponics.

Becky Huang: Supporting Reading Comprehension for English Learners Through Inquiry-Based, Language Focused Instruction $210,890
Becky Huang, Professor, Department of Teaching and LearningThe researchers will develop a new small-group intervention for English learners (ELs) in grades 3 through 5 who have reading comprehension difficulties. The intervention called the Building Knowledge and Language through Inquiry Framework (KLI), aims to help readers strengthen their language and literacy skills while building new knowledge of interesting topics in the disciplines (science and social studies). The KLI approach aims to build students’ knowledge of both the language and the topic area through direct instruction and through inquiry-based approaches, such as having students engage in conversations about language and the topic area. By addressing both of these areas of knowledge concurrently, KLI will help improve the reading comprehension of upper-elementary ELs.
