Bismarck, N.D. – According to the statement, North Dakota’s Commerce Department is launching a $3 million grant program to advance research and help develop additional vaccines for future diseases.
James Leiman, Commerce Commissioner, said:
“Some of the applications may tackle COVID but also different coronaviruses, that are currently in the global disease ecosystem.
It’s more of leveraging the technology they produce from the coronavirus production or manufacturing to solve other challenges.”
Last, but not least important – the program will partner with Operation Warp Speed and the money came from unused EGRC dollars meant for restarting businesses.
