The Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust has committed a transformational $12 million grant to fund life-changing research and discoveries in the UI Department of Biomedical Engineering. With this grant, the department will build on its exceptional contributions to the field of pulmonary and respiratory biomedicine.

The UI College of Dentistry provides reduced-cost dental services to veterans, but recently partnered with the nonprofit Everyone For Veterans, which connects combat veterans with free dental services. The college is encouraging dentists across the state to participate.
