WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) announced that the National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $758,583 grant to the University of Cincinnati to fund research on the development of organs and bone structures.

“Research in science and technology is critical to creating jobs and improving our economy. We unleash more American innovation when everyone is able to participate and we nurture all Ohio talent,” Brown said. “The University of Cincinnati is one of Ohio’s great universities. This award will help advance our knowledge and continue Ohio’s leadership in innovation.”  

Brown has cosponsored the Supporting Early Career Researchers Act to establish a two-year pilot program at NSF to award grants to highly qualified, early-career investigators at independent, higher education research institutions for up to two years. This will help prevent research talent loss due to job market disruptions caused by the pandemic.

NSF supports research and education in all the non-medical fields of science and engineering.
