Research direction

Open pages/aboutus/index.js and locate the Support section’s grant list around line 820. Compare the existing 2026 entries and update the list with both HERC grants and the corrected SARE attribution, preserving the curly quotes and formatting. Done when all three entries match the issue’s supplied text and acceptance criteria.

Description

documentation

The Support section of the About Us page (pages/aboutus/index.js, grant list around line 820) needs two new grants added and one existing entry corrected.

Add new grant

Bodily, P.M. (PI), Hay, C. (Student), “Redux: Implementation of a Dynamic, Interactive, Online Knowledgebase of Canonical Computer Science Problems,” Idaho Higher Education Research Council (HERC), Undergraduate Research Funding. $6,000. 2026.

Add second HERC grant (FY 26-27)

Wright, J.L. (PI), Sleight, D. (Student), Ibeabuchi, K. (Student), “Designing Reliable LLM Tutors for Computational Reductions,” Idaho Higher Education Research Council (HERC), Undergraduate Research Funding. $5,989.12. 2026.

Fix existing SARE grant

The SARE entry (line 822) is missing the PI and role labels that the other entries use.

Current:

Trosper, M.J., “Applied Computational Models and Algorithmic Solutions to Common Optimization Problems In Energy-Water Systems,” Summer Authentic Research Experience (SARE), Idaho Community-engaged Resilience for Energy-Water Systems (I-CREWS), National Science Foundation (NSF). $6,000. 2026.

Should be:

Bodily, P.M. (PI), Trosper, M.J. (Researcher), “Applied Computational Models and Algorithmic Solutions to Common Optimization Problems In Energy-Water Systems,” Summer Authentic Research Experience (SARE), Idaho Community-engaged Resilience for Energy-Water Systems (I-CREWS), National Science Foundation (NSF). $6,000. 2026.

Acceptance criteria

  • HERC grant appears in the Support section with the 2026 grants
  • Second HERC grant (Wright / Sleight / Ibeabuchi, $5,989.12) appears in the Support section
  • SARE entry lists Bodily, P.M. (PI), Trosper, M.J. (Researcher)
  • Curly quotes (“ ”) match the existing entries
