Grant Support

The research activities at DSRL are partially supported by the following funding sources:

• Project HEAL Evaluation: Dr. Ku's research is partially funded through the Healthcare Approaches to Justice Collaborative at Montclair State University. His work focuses on data science, natural language processing, and data/text mining. This research is supported by the Hackensack Meridian Health grant for the NJ Hospital-Based Violence Intervention program under the Collaborative.

• MaCS Scholars Program: As a Co-Principal Investigator, Dr. Ku plays a key role in the MaCS Scholars Program, a five-year initiative funded by a $1 million NSF grant. This program provides research internship opportunities for MaCS Scholars, who are actively recruited to participate in research projects at DSRL.

• Student Research Fund: Dr. Ku consistently applies for funding to support faculty-student research collaborations on DSRL projects. This funding, awarded by the College of Science and Health every semester, enables students to serve as research assistants and gain valuable hands-on experience.
