to U.S. Rep. Andre Carson (D-Indianapolis).
The money is part of a $5 billion program that was part of the federal
stimulus bill approved earlier this year, and will fund medical research across the country.
IUPUI received 67
grants in all, which will fund research on heart disease, autism, HIV-AIDS, H1N1 flu and cancer, among other areas, according
to Carson. One Indianapolis-based start-up, Indiana Nanotech LLC, will receive $100,000 to support its experimental products
in dentistry and orthopedics.
“Today’s announcement is both a life-changer for our work force, as well
as a life-saver for families and individuals who will benefit from future innovation and research supported by these grants,”
Carson said in a statement.
