Animal Science Researchers Receive $1.9M from USDA/NIFA for Genetics and Nutrition Studies to Help Improve Farmer Yields
Three teams of UMD researchers have received $650,000 each to help farmers improve production through better selective breeding or disease mitigation. The grants are part of a $13M investment by USDA NIFA, in AFRI’s Animals Growth and Lactation Program. The program promotes innovative work in cellular, molecular, genomic and whole-animal aspects of nutrition, growth and lactation.
$78.2M Cooperative Agreement Aims to Merge Engineering, Data Science
The Army Research Lab has tapped the University of Maryland for an ambitious effort to integrate data science and engineering on a sweeping array of projects, ranging from a “smart nose” to sniff out hazardous materials to lightning-quick “fingerprinting” of cell phones and other radio-emitting devices. ARL, part of the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, recently awarded the A. James Clark School of Engineering a five-year, $78.2 million cooperative agreement to spearhead the Data Driven Engineering Research (DataDrivER) program.
