The consortium will have more than 375 researchers from 17 universities available, including from N.C. State University and UNC Chapel Hill.
The institutes, along with those in a second consortium led by Rutgers University and the Cleveland Clinic, will form the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine. The grant is for five years.
