Wisconsin Alumni Association is hosting a UW Now livestream, What’s at Stake: Federal Funding for UW Research. Sterling Johnson, PhD, will join the talk and discuss Alzheimer’s disease research and funding.
UW–Madison is a research powerhouse, ranking sixth in the nation for research spending. Historically, federal funding through agencies such as the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation have supported research aimed at critical challenges, such as cancer or Alzheimer’s disease detection and treatment. How would the proposed changes in research funding affect major universities like UW–Madison? What does grant funding pay for, and how will reductions be felt by principal investigators, clinical researchers, graduate students, and others? How is the UW adjusting its operations to account for these changes?
Join fellow UW alumni and friends online for a livestream and Q & A with a panel of experts who will discuss these topics. The talk will be moderated by Mike Knetter, from the Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association.
