*These are the total amounts awarded to Dr. Chris S. Edrington. Although a Co-PI on the entire project, the subprojects are created at Florida State University for funding prior to 2020 and for funding post 2019 at Clemson University for the convenience of the faculty to appropriately direct the funds and account for the research effort. These amounts are verifiable through the offices of sponsored research at Florida State University or Clemson University.
