Understanding how federal funding supports biomedical research—and how proposed changes might impact these efforts—can be challenging. To shed light on this issue, the Microbiology Undergraduate Student Association (MUSA) and the UIowa American Society for Microbiology (ASM) Student Chapter are hosting a faculty panel discussion on the future of research funding. 

Join Drs. Li Wu, Rich Roller, and Michael Gebhardt as they break down how federal funding flows to universities, departments, and individual labs, how it supports research and education, and what the proposed changes could mean for microbiology at Iowa and beyond. There will also be time for student Q&A.

📅 Monday, March 31
⏰4:30 PM
📍Room 2189, Medical Education Research Facility (MERF)
