Five emerging research areas at University of Wisconsin–Madison are getting a boost from the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education’s (OVCRGE) $6M STEM Research Initiative.
OVRGE funding in each of these areas, ranging from genomics to community-centered design of fusion energy power plants, will support high priority research projects identified at UW–Madison that also have a high likelihood of receiving additional government or industry funding, and that show potential for IP/patent technologies and products.
“We’ve heard from faculty and their students who are enthusiastic to move these research projects forward, but who need seed funding to jump start the projects or to further develop them so that they are more likely to be successful when applying for external funding,” says Steve Ackerman, vice chancellor for research and graduate education. “STEM and innovation go hand-in-hand and each of the projects funded through this special research initiative advances the Wisconsin Idea by turning great ideas into innovation that supports citizens of the state and beyond.”
