November 20, 2024

A central pillar of the Team Science Program is to provide opportunities for clinical faculty to engage in research. With that in mind, the department created a seed grant mechanism to help expand faculty careers and nurture projects as a foundation for future, larger grant proposals. 

The seed grants cover $50,000 of research costs per year for up to 3 years, plus $10,000 more per year for working with health disparity populations. 

Congratulations to our second cohort of seed grant recipients!
