WASHINGTON – Senator Chuck Grassley today said that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has awarded a $219,283 competitive grant to the University of Iowa.
The University of Iowa will use the money from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute for a project entitled, “Short-term Training for Students on the Health Professions.”
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.
