COVID-19 Research

Researchers across the College of Veterinary Medicine have been engaged in high-impact projects in response to the COVID-19 pandemic for months now.

The projects range from developing a vaccine to evaluating therapeutic drugs and creating a new testing system.

Iowa State University’s Office of the Vice President for Research created a research seed grant program to fund high-risk, high-reward projects related to COVID-19 that can be rapidly pursued for up to six months. Of the seven projects funded, five featured CVM faculty members.
