OSU Receives Grant
Corvallis -
Oregon State University’s role as one of the nation’s leading centers of “bioenergy” research got a significant boost today when President George Bush signed federal legislation providing more than $8 million in funding for the Sun Grant Center at OSU. . . .
“The potential benefits of research being conducted through the Sun Grant Center loom large, for our nation and the world,” said OSU President Edward Ray. “The fact that OSU’s selection as a national center has been followed so quickly with significant funding to further this work is a testament to the importance of that research and the faculty who conduct it.” . . .
Last year, the federal government tapped OSU as one of the country’s five initial Sun Grant centers of excellence – regional hubs charged with leading research, education and outreach programs largely focused on the evolving field of bioenergy. That began an R&D initiative intended to reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels, add diversity to American agriculture and revitalize rural economies. . . .
Other regional Sun Grant centers of excellence are at: Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y.; the University of Tennessee, Knoxville; Oklahoma State University, Stillwater; and South Dakota State University, Brookings.
Go State! ;D
