Lear arning: Create new knowledge, providing training for students, and engage the public on focused areas in the social sciences and humanities $2,000,000
This initiative begins with genetic screening and early detection, employs the artificial pancreas to optimally control the disease, and aspires to a cure that will defy autoimmunity and regenerate beta cells. UVA is a world leader in Type 1 Diabetes genomics, technology, and cell therapy, and is building strength in immunology.
boratorie ies that focus on overarching themes and create new knowledge
training opportunities in cross-disciplinary research
gage the e public by collaborating with local, national, and international partners
This new model seeks to transform the production of advanced scholarship in: 1. Religion, Politics, and Conflict; 2. Citizen Justice; 3. Global Religion; and, 4. Humanities Informatics. Each lab will include post-doctoral fellows, faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates. Labs will establish partnerships, develop learning experiences for the public, and create digital platforms.

School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) & School of Medicine (SOM) Center for Advanced Biomanufacturing: Infrastructure for development of novel and more effective tissue engineering/regenerative medicine technologies $3,000,000 College of Arts and Sciences (A&S) Neuroscience and Energy Research Initiatives: Infrastructure to support neuroscience and energy research $521,844
The Center for Advanced Biomanufacturing will help UVA compete for massive new federal funding for tissue engineering and regenerative
defects, and nerve damage. The military’s success in saving the lives of those severely wounded on the battlefield has intensified the need for such therapies.
