This spring, seven Industrial Design and Biology undergraduates working with Department of Biological Sciences faculty received Undergraduate Research and Innovation (URI) Student Seed Grants. Student seed grants are awarded on a competitive basis and provide support for student-driven projects in research or the development of proof-of-concept prototypes. Congratulations to the grant winners!
