NMI

"Today (May 13, 2016), the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), in collaboration with Federal agencies and private-sector stakeholders, is announcing the National Microbiome Initiative (NMI). The NMI aims to advance understanding of microbiomes in order to aid in the development of useful applications in areas such as health care, food production, and environmental restoration."

Proposed Monmouth College involvement

1) Biochemistry Research (Sturgeon/Moore/Sostarecz)
The Hollow Fiber System
Microbial Biotransformation of Endogenous and Exogenous Biomolecules (Sturgeon/Kieft Summer Research 2016)
2) Wellness (J. Braun)
3) Modeling (Fasano/M. Sostarecz)
4) Educational Garden/Raw Food/Soil (Watson/Engstrom)
Can we track, then model microbe spread through the "fields" (ex. blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, veggie plots)


Goal: Submit an NSF proposal to fund on-campus research activities.
