WASHINGTON – Senator Chuck Grassley today said that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has awarded a $427,275 competitive grant to the University of Iowa.
The University of Iowa will use the money to help pay for a project titled, “Managing Incidental Findings in the Genomic Era.”
Each year, thousands of local Iowa organizations, colleges and universities, individuals and state agencies apply for competitive grants from the federal government. The funding is then awarded based on each local organization or individual’s ability to meet criteria set by the federal entity.
