The National Science Foundation awarded a $3 million grant to support University of Arizona graduate students looking to work across multiple scientific disciplines and channels to take on the world’s grand challenges, from global climate change to sustainable food production.
The grant was awarded to researchers with the UArizona Ecosystem Genomics Initiative, which brings together teams from a wide range of fields to design new models to inform global climate policy, identify genes and genomic interactions that enhance crop yield, and prepare graduate students to join the national workforce in fields such as ecosystem management, medical genetics and food security.
