The University of Florida is getting $26 million from the National Institutes of Health to speed up scientific discovery and medical advances to patients. Florida officials say the effort involves 12 of the university's 16 colleges, the Institutes of Food and Agricultural Sciences, the North Florida-South Georgia Veterans Affairs Health System and Shands HealthCare. The university announced the award Tuesday in Gainesville. UF is the only Florida university to get the award, but seven other institutions are also receiving the funding this year.
