Marquette University and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee have received a $675,000 five-year grant from the National Science Foundation to form one of only two Industry & University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC) nationwide that will focus on advancing freshwater research.
The I/UCRC combines the individual areas of expertise at the two universities and links those resources with six area water-related industries.
The member industries include A.O. Smith Corporation, Badger Meter Inc., Pentair Inc., Baker Manufacturing Company LLC, Wisconsin Water Research Corp., and the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District.
