BRC Microgrants – Request for Applications

Program Description

The Center of Regenerative Medicine (CRM) works with investigators to improve the scientific significance and impact of their writing projects in regenerative medicine through its Editing and Innovation Core (EiC). To facilitate usage of the core and offset costs, the CRM will offer microgrants to be used for grant and manuscript editing services.

Eligibility and Specific Requirements

Awardees must be faculty members at Washington University in St. Louis and must be members of the Center of Regenerative Medicine. Proposals must advance the mission of the Center of Regenerative Medicine.

Terms

Microgrants of up to $900 each will be awarded, all of which must be spent at the Editing and Innovation Core and which must be used within 6-months of the award. Awards may not be transferred. Micro-grants are not eligible for the CRM bioinformatics subsidy and will be charged at the standard hourly rate. Questions may be addressed to Jason Huang (huangjason@wustl.edu) or Dr. Jen Brazill (jbrazill@wustl.edu).

Review

Applications will be reviewed by an internal selection committee identified by the leadership of the Center of Regenerative Medicine.
