US Army, US Navy, US Air Force, US Marines, US Department of Defense conference held at UH
Date:10/26/2007

rs are proactively pursuing new means to improve the lives of American troops from boot camp to the battlefield to their return home, said Donald L. Birx, vice chancellor for the UH System and vice president for research for UH.

Our goal in hosting this research conference is not only to put UHs own innovations to work on the militarys immediate and future technology needs, but also to provide a forum where researchers and interested parties from partnering institutions and other organizations, as well as the public, can come to our campus to learn straight from DoD representatives what it takes to tackle defense issues in todays climate.

At 5 p.m., Nov. 1, following the first day of scheduled conference sessions, ROTC cadets will lead public tours through a variety of UHs research facilities and laboratories.

This is yet another superb opportunity for the new Houston Corps of Cadets consisting of Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine ROTC programs to support the war effort and the higher education community, said Col. Phil Bossert, USAF, the commander of Air Force ROTC at UH. We are honored to be supporting this unique conference, the only research events co-hosted by any ROTC units in the nation.

Sponsored by the Division of Research and co-hosted by the Houston Corps of Cadets, the conference also will showcase relevant materials and exhibits from various colleges, departments and research centers. Tables staffed by a diverse group of representatives will feature an assortment of demonstrations and literature from the Army ROTC, Air Force ROTC, Air Force Association, Navy ROTC, Bravo Zulu Services, UHs Center for Advanced Materials, the UH College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences, the UH College of Technologys Senior Project Lab, the UH Graduate College of Social Works Virtual Reality Clinical Research Center, the Computational Biomedicine Lab and Computational Physiology Lab from the UH College of Natural Sciences and
