In 2020, Dr. Ashley Beck, an Assistant Professor of Biology at Carroll College in Helena, was awarded a workforce development seed grant from the Montana NSF EPSCoR Consortium for Research on Environmental Water Systems (CREWS). The objective of her seed grant project was to develop a Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) for students at Carroll College.
In Year 3 of the CREWS project, Georgia Smies, an instructor in the Fisheries and Wildlife Program at Salish Kootenai College (SKC) was awarded a CREWS seed grant to improve Category 1 wetland characterization using remote sensing tools and environmental DNA. As a CREWS seed grant recipient, Georgia Smies has accomplished a great deal with her award and research.
