The Research and Innovation Office has awarded $43,907 to five additional projects as part of the NC A&T and UMN Research Partnership, a seed grant program aimed at developing a research partnership between the University of Minnesota and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T), a leading research institution among America’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
The Phase I awards, which were up to $10,000 per project, will build relationships between faculty at both institutions and across all research areas, and will include researcher exchanges, seminars, lectures, lab visits, and other relevant activities.
