Oklahoma State University has received a transformative grant totaling $750,000 from the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust of Oklahoma.
The Innovation Foundation at OSU was the lead and organizer of this three-year grant. By facilitating collaboration between experts from various colleges and institutes, The Innovation Foundation is driving transdisciplinary work across the university and region. Assembling partners focused on the health and well-being of Oklahomans is one of the many areas of focus for the organization.
According to Feed America, one in six Oklahomans struggle with hunger, and one in four is a child. This project will focus on combating those issues by leveraging OSU’s agricultural heritage and innovative research capabilities.
