Institutional Program Unifying Population and Laboratory Based Sciences
|
Five-year Institutional training awards provide $500,000 a year to bridge the gap between the population and computational sciences and the laboratory based biological sciences.
This new award will stimulate institutional training programs that partner researchers working in schools of medicine and schools (or academic divisions) of public health at degree granting institutes in U.S.or Canada. The goal of the award is to develop a new cadre of scientists working at the connections between population approaches to human health and basic biomedical research.
Letter of Intent Deadline:
March 3,2008
Application Deadline:
May 15, 2008
