Faculty Awards

Creagh Breuner and Vanessa Ezenwa

The National Science Foundation gave UM an early Christmas present last month with the announcement that two of its promising young scientists earned Early Career Development Program grants.

The prestigious five-year awards went to Creagh Breuner and Vanessa Ezenwa. Both women are assistant professors in UM’s Wildlife Biology Program and Division of Biological Sciences.

A handful of UM researchers have earned CAREER grants in the past, but the University has never had two awardees in the same year or academic unit.
