WASHINGTON – Senator Chuck Grassley today said that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has awarded a $679,013 competitive grant to the University of Iowa through the National Institute of Mental Health.
The university will use the funds to conduct mental health research.
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.
