Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-06) today announced that the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor will receive $48,098,049 in federal grant funding from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to conduct research in areas including arthritis, musculoskeletal and skin diseases, pharmacology, physiology, biological chemistry, drug abuse and addiction programs, cancer centers support, outbreak analytics and disease modeling, mothers and children, oral diseases, mental health, neurological disorders, and other areas.
More than $19.5 million of this funding will be dedicated to aging research.
“The health of aging Americans is of utmost importance as we continue to advance technology into how to support them best," said Dingell.
