This National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Traineeship (NRT) program award of $2,999,987 to the University of California, Davis provides funding to develop new bioprocessing technologies for sustainable cellular agriculture and industrial biomanufacturing. The project will train a total of 43 graduate students, including 10 master's and 13 doctoral student stipends, across disciplines such as agricultural economics, animal biology, chemical engineering, and plant biology. The trainees will conduct research in three key areas: cultivated meat production, alternative proteins for human and animal nutrition, and industrial applications of plant/algal proteins and biomolecules. The program aims to prepare the future workforce with the interdisciplinary skills and technical expertise needed to advance sustainable bioprocessing and biomanufacturing in support of a growing global population and the bioeconomy. The grant will also fund experiential learning opportunities, industry internships, and professional development activities to provide trainees with real-world insights into this emerging research and innovation space.
