Grant Opportunities
Pilot Project Grants Program
The goal of this program is to enhance new interdisciplinary research collaborations with particular emphasis on translational research. The CCMTR sponsors two types of pilot projects:
- Translational research grants intended to grow collaborative translational research efforts of CCMTR members.
- Resource development grants targeted to the development of reagents, tools and/or animal models that can be used by multiple groups within the CCMTR. Examples are development of a panel of reagents that would be available to all and that can be used by multiple investigators. This could be a panel of antibodies, a targeted microarray, a tissue panel, etc. An additional example would be funds to maintain a genetic line of animals.
Key dates.
- Application deadline is May 15, 2013 at 5pm.
