As a UNH student researcher, Isabella Collamati learned that not all research takes place in a lab and that concern for a single species can have a ripple effect to transform the planet. She explored salt marshes in New Hampshire and Maine while researching the effects of aging on the nesting success of salt marsh sparrows and then she presented her findings at the Undergraduate Research Conference or URC. The bigger picture: the declining population of salt marsh sparrows impacts salt marches and human ecosystems.

Jeanne Shaheen for a visit Friday, May 12, showcasing some of the research partnerships rooted on campus that bolster New Hampshire’s workforce and businesses and highlighting some of the many ways NSF support is making that work possible.

Scientific discoveries made by biomedical and bioengineering researchers at UNH over the past five years are transforming how a range of complex health conditions — from cancer and chronic wounds to neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s — are being diagnosed, treated and prevented.

An interdisciplinary team of UNH researchers recently shared their findings into how wind and small mammals—eastern chipmunks, southern red-backed voles and woodland jumping mice—help disperse fungi following forest disturbances, such as timber harvests.

UNHInnovation presented its 2022 Innovator of the Year award to Christine Shea and Kate Siler for IncludeU; and its 2023 award to Jeffrey Halpern for developing and patenting biosensors.

UNH’s status as an R1 research university caught Violet Sullivan’s eye as a prospective student, and as a student researcher she realized exactly what it meant. A competitive distance runner, Sullivan  '23 wondered if blood flow restriction, a common rehabilitative method primarily used in resistance training, could be applied to running.
