Reporter Hilary Burns visited campus and toured MURR to see firsthand the incredible impact of our radioisotope research and production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During our interview, I also discussed the vital role of federally-funded research in advancing groundbreaking projects like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.murr.missouri.edu\/\">MURR<\/a> \u2013 and our transformative new reactor, <a href=\"https:\/\/nextgenmurr.missouri.edu\/\">NextGen MURR<\/a>. Key to our comprehensive research success (from nuclear medicine to AI and agriculture) is working alongside elected leaders and listening to their feedback so we can best focus on our land-grant mission of teaching, research and outreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wnycstudios.org\/podcasts\/otm\/articles\/s2--episode-3-the-harvard-plan\">You can listen to the latest episode here<\/a>, which discusses the evolution of government-university research partnerships.

This coverage is part of an ongoing series, \u201cThe Harvard Plan,\u201d produced by the Boston Globe and &#8220;On the Media.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mizzou continues to receive incredible support from state and federal partners. By coming together \u2013 and always acting with the best interests of the university and Missouri in mind \u2013 we can make a profound difference in our state, while delivering even more impact for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We continue to receive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/2025\/06\/26\/metro\/trump-administration-higher-education-funding\/\">national attention<\/a> for our outreach on behalf of Mizzou\u2019s research excellence, including praise for our approach adjusting to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chronicle.com\/article\/mun-chois-survival-strategy\">changing landscape of higher education<\/a>.
