The Myra Berman Kurtz Fund for Faculty Research and Exploration of the Sciences (KRES Fund) seeks to enable Goucher faculty to remain life-long learners and continue their intellectual curiosities and passions through exploration of the sciences, technology, and their relationship to society. In this light, the KRES Fund supports new projects that allow faculty to pursue experiences outside of their prior work, explore novel areas of knowledge, and push disciplinary boundaries.  

The four recipients who will share their work and experience include:
