Please see the following message from the Research Development Office.

We invite you to connect with your colleagues interested in climate change and health research in an upcoming workshop series in May. These workshops are a follow-up to the recent Bold Ideas survey, which is contributing to the pursuit of an Exploratory Grants for Climate Change and Health Research Center Development (P20). We seek ideas and researchers interested in exploring unique climate change and health research focused on rural issues important to Iowa and the Midwest.
