Assistant Professor of Psychology in the UH College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences Beau Alward has received the Beckman Young Investigator Award from the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation.

The Beckman Young Investigator Program provides research support to the most promising young faculty members in the early stages of their academic careers in the chemical and life sciences, particularly to foster the invention of methods, instruments and materials that will open up new avenues of research in science. Alward will use the $600,000 award to study the behaviors of African cichlid fish, which may hold the answers to many social disorders.
