Dingell Announces $21 Million in NSF Grants for the University of Michigan

Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-06) today announced that the University of Michigan will receive $21,152,599 in grant funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for project areas including translational impacts, social and economic sciences, electrical communication and cyber systems, and more. 

$3,856,463 of this funding will be dedicated to the Division of Ocean Sciences to conduct research within the Great Lakes Center for Fresh Waters and Human Health.

“This funding for the University of Michigan will be used to further our understanding of the Great Lakes, which is something I have worked towards since my first day in Congress," said Dingell. "It will allow UM to study the risk that climate change poses to freshwater ecosystems and human health, allowing us to be better prepared to protect and preserve one of our nation's greatest treasures."
