Grants

Landrie, C.L.; “Unveiling the Black Box: Using Vernier Sensors to Constructor a Polarimeter and Investigate Optical Rotation in the Organic Chemistry Laboratory” Illinois Community College Faculty Association Faculty Research Grant ($2,500), April, 2014.

Landrie, C.L.; “Development of Experiments in High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) in the Organic Chemistry Laboratory with the Aid of an Autosampler” Oakton Education Foundation, private donor ($10,000), December, 2013.

Oakton Educational Foundation. Summer Internship Grant. Co-PI (2015-2018). This grant has placed chemistry and biology students into research laboratories for summer internships with paid stipends (~$6000 per student). I served as a faculty mentor to students funded by this grant and placed students into research groups within my network.
