USAID Grants $789K To Hebrew U

March 10, 2015 | The Hebrew University’s Robert H. Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environment was awarded a $789,000 grant from the US Agency for International Development. The grant will reportedly enable the establishment of a Unit of Correlative Microscopy at the Rehovot campus, which will allow for the study of the tissue and cell makeup of crops. The USAID program granted $400,000 to the Hebrew University in 2013 for its phytotron-controlled greenhouse.
