"The Obama Administration and the U.S. Congress demonstrated considerable foresight in allocating stimulus dollars to research and development," said Joel Seligman, president of the University of Rochester. "These funds will not only provide immediate economic relief by creating and saving jobs in this difficult economic environment, they also represent a critical investment in our nation's economic future growth by investing in scientific innovation."
Through September 30, the University of Rochester received 131 awards for a total of $34.5 million in funding. These funds support research projects in medicine, engineering, optics, astronomy, chemistry, linguistics, and physics.
