- Emily Anstadt (Medical Microbiology and Immunology) to study if cardiac stem cells can regenerate damaged cardiac tissue.
- Daniel Lecaonet (Physics and Mathematics) to study the non-linear evolution of magneto-shear field instabilities
- Craig Marquardt (Psychology) to study the influence of several human genetic polymorphisms on response to aversive events
- Cathrine Olien (Art History) to study ancient Cypriot limestone sculptures at the Ringling Museum in Sarasota, FL
- Claire Rydell (Classics and History) to study classical self reliance as expressed in the writing of Ralph Waldo Emerson
