Congratulations to my CSU colleagues on their recent and significant grant successes celebrated at the
CRC funding (Marine Bi-products and Soil) Charles Sturt partners in National Marine Bioproducts Research Centre, secured $59 million in federal funding to develop marine bioproducts for health, agriculture and biomaterials. Professor of Plant Biology in the School of Agricultural and Wine Sciences and Graham Centre for Agricultural Innovation member Leslie Weston is a co-leader of program three, Australian Marine Bioproducts.
Success in agricultural partnerships continues with two Charles Sturt University-led research projects awarded almost $900,000 in funding from the Soil Cooperative Research Centre (CRC). The projects are led by Professor Mark Morrison in the School of Management and Marketing in Bathurst and Dr Sosheel Godfrey in the School of Agricultural and Wine Sciences in Wagga Wagga.
