  3. GlaxoSmithKline Grant -James D. Macy, Yale University $25,000 “Strategies for MPV screening” The goals are to develop a large-scale PCR-based strategy for detection of MPV in mouse colonies and to define potential fomites in cages.
  4. ER Griffin Research Foundation Grant -Fiona Clair Hankenson, University of Michigan $24,069 “Survey of vaccination programs and tuberculosis screening for personnel in laboratory animal research facilities” The project will measure objective differences in process and outcomes of hazard identification and risk assessments used in laboratory animal workplace environments for naturally occurring zoonotic and experimentally infectious agents.
