The College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources (CAHNR) recently celebrated another year of innovative research during an event organized by Kumar Venkitanarayanan, CAHNR’s associate dean for research and graduate education, and his team.

“These grants support projects that address critical issues in sustainable agriculture, human, animal, and environmental health, and many other areas,” says Indrajeet Chaubey, CAHNR dean. “They also support the goal that underlies everything we do at CAHNR: to find solutions that benefit communities here in Connecticut and far beyond.”


In fiscal year 2024, CAHNR faculty secured $34.5 million in new research awards, underscoring the continued impact and importance of their work. This achievement marks a significant trajectory of growth. Since 2019, CAHNR’s annual research funding has grown from $20.7 million. Additionally, research expenditures reached a five-year high at nearly $34.9 million.

“I am immensely proud of our faculty and staff whose dedication and innovation contributed to the incredible success in securing grants” says Venkitanarayanan. “It is a testament of the impact of their research in advancing the frontiers of knowledge and solving real-world challenges.”

The celebration brought together leaders from across UConn, including Vice President for Research, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship Pamir Alpay and Chief of Staff Michelle Williams, to recognize the faculty’s accomplishments.                                                                                   

“CAHNR continues to embrace UConn’s proud history as an agricultural school while building programs and conducting research into the fields that are changing the world for the better,” says Alpay.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Four researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign were named recipients of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers , the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on young professionals at the outset of their independent research careers. The winners this year are health and kinesiology professor Marni Boppart , physics professor Barry Bradlyn, chemical and biomolecular engineering professor Ying Diao and computer scienceprofessor Edgar Solomonik. Professor Marni Boppart Photo by Michelle Hassel Boppart is the Saul J. Morse and Anne B. Morgan Professor in Applied Health Sciences and studies molecular and cellular mechanisms responsible for the health benefits of exercise. This information is then used to develop novel cell- and pharmacological-based interventions that can prevent or treat loss of muscle mass and function with age. She is the recipient of numerous awards including the Allen Distinguished Investigator Award, ...
