ARRA Awards at Upstate Medical University

Upstate Medical University - $300,000

Upstate Medical University will receive $341,280 in federal investments from HHS to advance research and treatment for congenital heart disease - the most common birth defect. Progress has been made in understanding heart defects, but for many cases the underlying cause is unknown. This project focuses on mechanisms that control heart development to identify genes that may aid in diagnosis, treatment or prevention of congenital heart disease..  The federal investment is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
