JACKSON, Mich. CP FCU has been chosen as the depository for the MedSAU Fund, a research collaboration between the University of Michigan Health System and Spring Arbor University.
The initial investment in the project is expected to be $12 million. The project is expected to bring in $4 million and $5 million annually, according to the credit union.
The research collaboration will offer an opportunity for aspiring pre-med, medical research and science-related students to engage in various research projects, officials said. Researchers and clinicians will work together on neonatal brachial plexus palsy, a chronic disabling condition that occurs late in pregnancy or shortly after birth and causes paralysis and a loss of sensation in a child’s arm.
