ReBUILDetroit funded five pilot, collaborative and course development projects submitted by investigators across partner institutions as part of a competitive granting process this month. Pilot awards totaled nearly $125,000, and are part of the five-year, $21MM ReBUILDetroit grant funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
A team comprised of faculty and administrators from University of Detroit Mercy, Wayne State University and Marygrove College developed and disseminated the Request for Proposals in Fall 2016.

The long-term objective of the ReBUILDetroit project (Research Enrichment Building Undergraduate Infrastructure Leading to Diversity) is to align institutions and faculty from University of Detroit Mercy, Marygrove College and Wayne State University to support the development of innovative undergraduate research training programs that eventually will increase the number of undergraduate and underrepresented students pursuing biomedical, behavioral, social, and clinical research careers. The grant is currently in its third year.
