Applications are now open for the UW Center for Translational Muscle Research (CTMR) Mini Pilot Grants! Mini Pilot Grants provide $5,000-$10,000 in direct support for pilot studies to new users of CTMR core services who need a limited, specified set of data from one of the cores. Examples of the use of this grant mechanism…
Proposals to the Pilot Grant program of the UW Center for Translational Muscle Research (CTMR) are now being accepted. This program supports the development of exciting new muscle research by enabling investigators to obtain preliminary data needed to apply for follow-on funding and receive training in new skills. Funding up to $25,000 (direct costs) is available. Applications are due…
