National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Gives Grant to EHSRC

The University of Iowa's Environmental Health Sciences Research Center, also known as EHSRC, received a $7.9 million grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Science for their research programs and activities.

The grant was issued to allow the University of Iowa to continue research being done on health issues that arise in rural areas from rural and agricultural life, which is a major area of interest for specifically that department as well as UI.

The new funding will go toward an already established more than $500 million of research that is being done across the campus on various aspects of these issues, as a number of specific UI departments have their own part in this research.

This area of research includes a lot of different aspects, including manufacturing and even energy sources. There are many different views from which the research is done on this large topic, creating a very vast program.

The research center was established in 1990 and includes many different disciplines providing their own angles of research for the projects. This is not the first time that UI has received this particular grant to continue the research that they started, as the research has had a lot of success thus far.

This is the only program in the Midwest to receive this particular funding, although many different programs are active across the United States that are studying the same issues. The research in general is beneficial to the country as a whole, especially in the Midwest.
