Córdova, right, stands with Indiana University President Michael McRobbie on Tuesday (Feb. 17) during the 18th annual Hoosiers for Higher Education Statehouse Visit and Indiana Innovation Alliance Day. The rally, which drew a standing-room-only crowd of more than 700 people, highlighted how the Indiana Innovation Alliance proposal before the General Assembly would advance bio- and life-science research in the state, help create jobs and spark the economy.

The Indiana House Ways and Means Committee later in the day approved a one-year budget proposal that provides $35 million in funding for the Indiana Innovation Alliance. The budget bill now moves to the full House.
