The Cutting Edge of Medical Technology Content, Community & Collaboration

Colleagues,

NIH has announced grants expected to total approximately $45 million to establish new Centers of Excellence in Genomic Science in Wisconsin and North Carolina, as well as to continue support of existing centers in Maryland and California...

... The new center that will be co-led by the Medical College of Wisconsin and University of Wisconsin-Madison will receive about $8 million over three years. The new center at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill will receive about $8.6 million over five years. The existing center at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles will receive about $12 million over five years and the existing center at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore will receive about $16.8 million over five years...

... a portion of these efforts are funded thru the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), or 'Stimulus" funding...

... In addition to the centers included in the latest round of funding, other Centers of Excellence in Genomic Science are:

* Marianne Bronner-Fraser, Ph.D., California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, Calif.
* George Church, Ph.D., Harvard Medical School, Boston.
* David M. Kingsley, Ph.D., Stanford University, Stanford, Calif.
