GRASP Awardees
Research Affairs is pleased to announce the latest GRASP awards. Sixteen applications were received from 29 different co-investigators. They were reviewed and scored by 15 to 27 individuals from a panel of senior researchers. All the applicants will shortly receive summaries of the reviewers comments. Based on the combined scores of the reviewers, three projects with investigators from three different schools were selected for funding, fulfilling our goal to encourage collaborative research between researchers in various parts of the institution. The funded applications include basic laboratory research, translational studies, clinical projects and environmental.
Please join us in congratulating Drs. Danilo Boskovic, Steve Dunbar, Serkan Inceoglu, Takkin Lo, Traci Marin, and Rodrigo Viecilli. We earnestly hope that their studies are successful, that their results will appear in peer-reviewed publications and will that it will contribute to applications for extramural funding.
The three 2013 GRASP applications that were awarded $75,000 for 24-month projects are:

GCAT Awardees
The Dean of the School of Medicine is proud to announce the four GCAT awardees. These four teams of two investigators, a Basic Science researcher and a School of Medicine clinician, will be awarded $75,000 over two years to fund their research collaborations.
Please join Dr. Hadley in congratulating Drs. Salvador Soriano and James Larsen, Drs. Andre Obenaus and Andrea Pardo, Drs. Jiping Tang and Richard Applegate, and Drs. Kimberly Payne and Michael De Vera on their successful applications. Together, these four teams will develop insights and approaches to clinically-relevant issues that have the potential to make a difference in the lives of patients.
The four funded studies are listed below:
Basic Science PI |
Clinician PI |
Title |
|
Salvador Soriano |
James Larsen |
Human cell reprogramming for functional genetics of Alzheimer's disease |
