NOAA Awards Grant to the University of Michigan for Great Lakes Research Center
The University of Michigan has been awarded a five-year, $53 million renewal agreement from the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration (NOAA) to continue and expand the Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research (CIGLR), with the goal of helping to conserve and manage the region’s natural resources. CIGLR scientists and their students work alongside researchers at NOAA’s Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) in Ann Arbor to seek solutions for some of the most pressing Great Lakes issues, including a changing regional climate, extreme weather events, invasive species, harmful algal blooms, and ecosystem protection.
Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI), whose district includes the University of Michigan and serves as a Co-Chair of the Congressional Great Lakes Task Force, applauded NOAA’s actions, saying “Our Great Lakes matter to so many, and I am grateful that NOAA recognizes the important work the University of Michigan is doing to sustain this natural wonder for generations to come. With this funding, the University will be able to expand its work to protect the Great Lakes from the impact of our climate crisis, as well as find solutions for invasive species, harmful algal blooms, and more.” In addition to the research institute, CIGLR leads a regional consortium of universities and private-sector partners.
