The goal of this exciting new program is to connect faculty from different domains, through science and innovation.  Studies funded demonstrate new synergistic collaboration as well as potential for external funding.
 

After receiving a tremendous response to our call for proposals, we are happy to announce the 2019 Synergy Grant Program awards.
