Chemical Research and Education Research Funding
Most ongoing chemical and education research projects are externally funded. Winkelmann Research Group funding from federal, private, state, and local sources is listed below. Our lab has also received generous donations of scientific research instruments and equipment from industry laboratories and NASA Kennedy Space Center.
Research always involves students and many projects include other professors and industry scientists. Collaborators affiliatied with the Winkelmann Research Group are presented in this site's People page.
