NSF awards Iowa researchers $20 million to build advanced biomanufacturing capacity
Researchers across Iowa will work together to build the knowledge, infrastructure and capacity for the state to be a leader in advanced biomanufacturing.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) will support the work with a five-year, $20 million grant from its Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (known as EPSCoR). The program is designed to build research capabilities and expertise across the country.
The NSF recently announced six of the $20 million awards, each supporting projects in Iowa, Idaho, Montana, South Carolina, Vermont and West Virginia.
