The 5th Annual NHLBI Progenitor Cell Translational Consortium (PCTC) Meeting will be held in Birmingham, AL (Wednesday, September 29, 2021 and Thursday, September 30, 2021, starting at 12 Noon, EDT), at the University of Alabama (UAB).
To provide the PCTC with a mechanism to quickly award small grants to junior faculty (less than 5 years from their appointment to Assistant Professor), Research Associates, Graduate Students, Fellows and Postdocs to support a well-defined specific aim. The aim should involve at least one of the following, with priority given to proposals that incorporate two:
1. The application of new technology to an existing translational research question
This Request for Proposals provides funding for PCTC Visiting Scholar Awards up to $25,000 for collaboration and exchange of expertise among PCTC Research Hubs.
