The grants could total about $21 million over five years, pending available funds, and include projects at Tufts University in Boston; the University of South Carolina at Columbia; University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia; Emory University in Atlanta; Michigan State University in East Lansing; and University of Pittsburgh.
