UW-Madison could get up to $150 million in federal stimulus funds for research

A new facility to house rodents and a place to study infectious disease in primates are among two bids UW-Madison is making for federal stimulus money.

A UW-Madison committee has chosen five projects totaling $57 million to submit in a competition for National Institutes of Health grants, which are specifically earmarked for biomedical research facilities.

Individual UW-Madison researchers also are vying for some of the billions of dollars made available for research in the federal stimulus package.
