AURI has partnered with Battelle, an internationally recognized research firm, to analyze the areas of strength and the capabilities of Minnesota's agbioscience research organizations.

The information from this assessment of research capabilities will allow us to match those needs with the research organizations best positioned to carry out the research," explains Teresa Spaeth, AURI executive director.
