The Michigan State University Research Foundation and Michigan State University have announced the recipients of the 2024 Strategic Partnership Grants (SPG) Program. This important funding mechanism supports promising new initiatives in key areas of research, scholarship, and multidisciplinary collaboration. Successful concepts aim to promote productive and sustained collaborations at MSU, leading to significant external funding and driving ideas with long-term impact. 

The SPG Program is jointly funded by the MSU Research Foundation and MSU colleges. Following a rigorous internal peer review process conducted by MSU faculty and research administrators, the top five proposals were submitted to the Foundation’s grants committee for presentation and review.

Three proposals were selected for funding:

• Farm-to-Table: A Novel Promethium-149 Radiotheranostic for Prostate Cancer Therapy
• Radiation-Hardened Phased Array Technology For 6G Non-Terrestrial Networks
• Predictive Machine Learning Infrastructure of the 3D Human Genome Integrated with Synthetic Biology to Boost Early Disease Diagnostics
