Funding

This is all in addition to other funding my students have gotten (NSF EAPSI grant, fellowships from NIMBioS and PEER (an NIH-funded program at UTK), Google Summer of Code funding), funding for workshops or working groups (from NIMBioS and the Society for Systematic Biologists), and funding I got before my faculty position (NESCent postdoctoral fellowship, NSF DDIG, NSF GRF, and various internal grants at UC Davis). Total external funding, so far, as a faculty member is $2,887,182.
