A new five-year National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant

A big congratulations to Mary Sánchez Lanier in the School of Molecular Biosciences and Samantha Gizerian in the Integrative Physiology and Neuroscience department, program directors and co-principal investigators for a new five-year National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant of more than $700,000 that will fund a “motivating innovation and research achievement” (MIRA) program for WSU underrepresented student researchers in biomedical science and engineering fields.  This grant not only reflects collaborations across WSU, but also across our college.
