AB Research Projects
Our research is funded primarily
by contracts with various government agencies and industrial organizations.
Over the last few years, these have included the Forest Service, the National
Science Foundation, the Electric Power Research Institute, the Army Corps of
Engineers, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Energy, the
State of New York, and various industrial sources.
