A UNH program that helps New Hampshire small businesses grow by accessing federal grant funding has notched its first major success. Portsmouth-based Nearview, a participant in UNH’s FOSTER program, has received $150,000 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to develop an artificial intelligence model for its aerial drone environmental services.

University of New Hampshire scientists have received three grants totaling $1 million that will support research addressing urgent questions in soil sustainability and, ultimately, resilient food production in New Hampshire and beyond. The projects range from using state-of-the-art instrumentation to determine components that help build soil organic matter, to increasing soil microbes' ability to increase the efficiency of nitrogen fertilizer, to understanding how plants extracts beneficial nutrients from soil organic matter. 
 

UNH researchers sample wastewater from treatment facilities around Great Bay to understand how contaminants flow into our environment and ultimately protect our drinking water.

Recent research conducted by the University of New Hampshire's Michael Kurtz, Karen Conway, and Robert Mohr and published by the Carsey School of Public Policy found that 'Backpack' food programs for children result in higher math and reading test scores. The Conway Daily Sun noted this data and how a local non-profit, End 68 Hours of Hunger, works to support children with food especially over the weekends.

In observing the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, UNH paused to honor those who were lost, including members of the UNH community: Judd Cavalier ’98, Jennifer Fialko ’94, Robert G. LeBlanc ’59 and Timothy C. Stout ’83.

The UNH COVID-19 lab has gone from testing only UNH students at the outset to becoming one of the most powerful tools the Granite State has in the battle against COVID-19.

Many rural communities have been struggling with the migration patterns increasing population prices and the COVID-19 pandemic has only increased the issue of affordable housing. The Sentinel Source discussed several different researchers who had seen this problem across the U.S., including Jess Carson, Carsey School of Public Policy researcher. Carson explained how many people hadn't recovered from the 2008 recession before being hit again with the challenges of the pandemic and the variables allowing communities to rebuild. 

New Hampshire's labor shortage has been exacerbated due to the COVID-19 pandemic and has extremely impacted a child care shortage, causing providers to close down or to scale back. New Hampshire Business Review recently wrote an article on the issue, mentioning a brief published in July by the Carsey School and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.
