The TransUniversity Microbiome Initiative is thrilled to announce the Awardees of our first round of TUMI Pilot and Feasibility Grants. Nineteen investigators submitted applications and TUMI assembled a panel of over twenty reviewers to assess and select our finalists. Below you will find brief summaries of each of the funded projects. TUMI looks forward to supporting this research over the coming months, and we are unbelievably excited by the creative microbiome research proposed across grounds. Selecting only a handful to fund was not an easy task.
