Fresno, Calif.
California State University, Fresno was awarded a five-year, $45 million grant from the National Institutes of Health’s National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities in early 2008 to construct a new biomedical research facility. CSU Fresno is one of 19 universities in the nation to receive the award. Aiming to integrate teaching and research, the project will support the Research Infrastructure in Minority Institutions (RIMI) program. RIMI promotes research at institutions offering life science degrees with predominantly minority student bodies. The facility will provide space for research in proteomics, functional genomics, and bioinformatics.
