KU’s Research Rising Awards Will Address Critical Challenges Facing Humanity
Creating more secure and resilient communities, harnessing the power of big data to discover disease-fighting drugs, unlocking the secrets of genomes for the benefit of life on our planet, and transforming understanding of and support for intellectual and developmental disabilities. These are among the noble goals of the four projects selected for funding through KU’s Research Rising competition.
Each research team will receive $3 million over five years to support projects that rose to the top of a strong pool of finalists after rigorous review by nationally and internationally recognized experts.
