"For me this grant represents the culmination of my long-held desire to conduct research that benefits our global community. I'm very excited about this aspect of this project, which was made possible because of the access to world-class researchers in various departments who can bring their perspectives to a complex problem requiring multiple ways of attack in order to get it done." - Audrey Bowden
