Dairy Business Innovation Alliance announces 2020 grant recipients
The alliance is a partnership between the Center for Dairy Research and the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association.
The Dairy Business Innovation Alliance (DBIA), a partnership between the Center for Dairy Research (CDR) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Madison, Wis.-based Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association (WCMA), announced the 13 companies and cooperatives that, via a competitive review process, were selected to receive grants totaling $230,000.
“Competition for grant dollars was strong, with 77 applications requesting more than $1.5 million in support,” said John Umhoefer, WCMA executive director. “We’ve selected innovative, distinctive projects which will add value to the dairy industry from farm to vat — and we look forward to funding even more projects in the years to come.”
