Grants to Promote Collaborative and Translational Research (GCAT)
The Office of the Associate Dean of Basic Science and Translational Research is pleased to announce the fifth annual administration of Grants to Promote Collaborative and Translational Research (GCAT). These grants are designed for teams of basic and clinical scientists, who will work together to develop insights and approaches to clinically-relevant issues that have the potential to make a difference in the lives of patients. In addition, these awards will promote collaborations between clinical and basic scientists within the School of Medicine, and allow the awardees to obtain preliminary data that will help them compete successfully for external funding. Funds from the School of Medicine are to be matched 1:1 by the clinical department, for a total award of up to $75,000 to be spent over a two-year funding period.
