The program is funded by UW\u2013Madison and UW\u2013Milwaukee donors, and projects are selected by a committee of faculty and administrators from both institutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwo universities are better than one,\u201d says David Yu, interim dean of the UW\u2013Milwaukee Graduate School. \u201cBy combining our best research talent, we are better able to speed scientific outcomes and apply that knowledge to improve the lives of Wisconsin citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The grants will support projects arrayed across the broad strengths of both institutions, including efforts to improve human health, produce environmentally friendly materials and expand our understanding of the natural world. Each award, chosen from a pool of 60 proposed research programs, is in the range of $50,000 for one year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe questions posed by these new research teams are evidence of the creativity and capabilities of our faculty,\u201d says Martin Cadwallader, dean of the UW\u2013Madison Graduate School. \u201cEvery year brings a new crop of collaborative projects that we are proud to be able
