Researchers
at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine recently were
awarded Mizzou Advantage grants for research projects in comparative
medicine. The awards of up to $25,000 each will facilitate teams working
on research projects in taking their work to the next level. This fall,
faculty and staff were invited to submit proposals for Mizzou Advantage
funds. Forty requests were submitted, of those, 26 projects received
funding. Three projects involving researchers at the College of
Veterinary Medicine were selected for funding.
The goal
of the Mizzou Advantage program is to increase MU's stature and impact.
MU faculty and staff have formed networks to collaborate on projects in
five strength areas: Food for the Future: The culture, economics and
production of healthy, affordable food; Managing Innovation: Navigating disruptive
and transformational technologies; Media of the Future: New ways to
communicate, educate and market; One Health/One Medicine: The convergence
of animal and human health; and Sustainable Energy: Developing and
distributing renewable energy sources.
