(St. Louis Inno) Danforth Center snags $12.5M grant to launch new research institute

Dr. Allison Miller spoke to St. Louis Inno about the newly established New Roots for Restoration Biology Integration Institute (NRR-BII), a research institute focused on the restoration of natural and agricultural lands. The five-year project will include 26 scientists from nine collaborating institutions.

“The New Roots for Restoration Biology Integration Institute offers an incredible opportunity to revolutionize the way in which we approach restoration of human-impacted landscapes by focusing on both natural and agricultural ecosystems in tandem, and by applying cutting-edge technologies used primarily in annual grain crops to wild plant species and perennial crop candidate species,” said Miller.
