The Yale Liver Center is accepting applications for pilot projects from researchers across Yale School of Medicine (YSM). Funded through their NIH/NIDDK P30 Liver Center grant, these grants are to fund new liver-related research that should lead to future R01-type funding or other support. Projects utilizing Core Facilities and supporting young investigators or applying new methodologies or approaches to the study of liver pathophysiology are given priority.
The funding, which is up to $40,000, is for investigators that meet one of the following criteria, in order of priority:
- Senior fellows or junior faculty at YSM, currently not funded by NIH grants and in need of funds to help prepare for R01-type applications.
- Established University investigators not currently funded for work related to the Center’s focus on liver-related research, but who wish to apply their areas of expertise to subjects of Center interest.
- Funded Center investigators who wish to pursue a project that is different from their current focus of interest, and who needs to develop preliminary data to apply for new R01-type funding.
Letters of Intent should be emailed to Christine Abu-Hanna by Friday, February 25, 2022 at 5 p.m. Review the application instructions, timeline, and more information under Related Documents.
