Following a successful joint conference in September of Cornell researchers from Ithaca and New York City, the administrations of the Cornell University and Weill Cornell campuses have awarded Seed Grants of up to $50,000 each to facilitate collaborations between the two campuses. A committee consisting of three faculty members from the Cornell (Ithaca) campus and three from the Medical College campus reviewed the 38 outstanding applications received and helped to select the following 12 proposals to be funded.
