This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering provides $389,837 to Bowie State University from June 2021 through May 2024 for an institute titled "IRES TRACK II. ENGAGE GLOBALLY: TROPICAL PLANTS METABOLOMICS ADVANCED STUDIES INSTITUTE IN KENYA." The institute aims to advance metabolomics research on tropical plants through an international collaboration located in Kenya. The Office of International Science and Engineering's stated purpose is to strengthen international partnerships and enable U.S. leadership in global science. This award supports that objective by funding an international training program that will likely contribute to scientific knowledge of tropical plant chemistry and international scientific cooperation.
