University of Wisconsin-Madison stimulus funding for research exceeds $26 million

The University of Wisconsin-Madison reported that, to date, it has received 90 awards totaling more than $26.5 million in stimulus money under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

Funded projects range from stem cell research to Antarctic weather stations and bioenergy projects, and more could be on the way.

According to Kim Moreland, director of UW-Madison’s Office of Research and Sponsored Programs, the flow of stimulus money to UW is probably going to increase as more national agencies continue the process of vetting proposals.
