New LabVenture on the Horizon

Announcements | Dec 31, 2017

On a chilly fall morning in 2015, CEO and President Don Perkins took to a press conference podium to announce the largest grant in our organization’s history: $6.5 million from NASA to support Real World, Real Science. These funds, distributed to GMRI and project partners, will facilitate the next evolutionary step for our keystone education program, LabVenture.
