People all over the country may be losing their jobs and homes but at least we will know all we need to know about Alaskan Grandparents.
OSU Professor Gets $1.1 Million in Stimulus to Study Alaskan Grandparents
STILLWATER, Oklahoma -- A professor at OSU received $1.1 million in stimulus funds to study Alaskan grandparents.
The National Science Foundation made the grant possible through their stimulus funding. Now some Oklahomans are speaking out calling the project another example of stimulus waste.
For more than ten years, Oklahoma State University professor Tammy Henderson has been researching grandparents. She studies their relationships and responsibilities within their families.
"This is an opportunity for us to really build a body of research that people will be using far beyond our age," said OSU Associate Professor Tammy Henderson, PhD.
Henderson will continue her research with $1.15 million in stimulus money. She and two other social science professors from the University of Alaska will be leading the research project. The research project is called “From Their Perspective: Alaskan Grandparents’ Roles, Strengths and Needs.”
OSU has applied for more than $100 million in stimulus money for research grants alone. So far they've received $3.3 million.
