Two CBS researchers awarded federal funding for innovative projects

Two researchers from the University of Guelph’s College of Biological Science have each been awarded $250,000 in funding through the New Frontiers in Research Fund’s Exploration program, administered by the Canadian government’s three research agencies. The program is designed to support transformative, interdisciplinary, high-risk, high-reward research.
