Last week was a great week for research funding!

First, we awarded the next seven BOLD Ideas grants.  

We had a great response, with 64 applications submitted by interdisciplinary teams from across the University and the state. The creativity, quality, and collaborations of the proposals were strong, and they addressed a broad spectrum of health and wellbeing in our communities.

This next phase of awards takes on some big challenges:

  • Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences, U-Spatial, Minnesota Department of Health

An Innovative Dementia Friendly Living Space

  • Science and Engineering, Fine Arts, Liberal Arts, Medicine, Pharmacy, Business (Duluth)

Congratulations to all of our BOLD Ideas grant awardees!

Congratulations also to awardees of two other grant programs announced this week: the Minnesota Partnership for Biotechnology and Medical Genomics and Regenerative Medicine Minnesota research grants! If you aren’t familiar with these three programs, please take a minute to learn about them.

Lastly, I know that a tremendous amount of effort goes into applying for these grants, and want to thank all of the faculty, staff, and students who helped prepare the proposals.
