Grants and Sponsored Research - Spring 20205

Weather Alert

Due to the recent winter storm that brought significant snowfall on Sunday and Monday, Springfield College will operate remotely on Tuesday, January 27, 2026. This decision prioritizes the safety of our community and allows Facilities staff the necessary time to clear parking lots and sidewalks. The campus will reopen on Wednesday, January 28, 2026. Please check your email for full details and updates.

Samuel A.E. Headley, PhD, professor of Exercise Science, received a $20,370 grant in February 2025 from Sanostec Corp., maker of Max-Air® SwirlZZs™ nasal dilators, to conduct a clinical study of the nasal dilators to determine whether they “improve pulmonary responses indicative of enhanced exercise performance in apparently healthy, male, college varsity student-athletes.” Headley will serve as the principal investigator. Co-investigators include Luke Pelton, PhD, assistant professor of Exercise Science; Jeff Gagnon, MS, assistant professor of Physics; and Exercise Physiology graduate assistants Madison Lecher, Sarah Brownsteine, and Maura Tumelty.
