The Loma Linda University Health office of research affairs has announced the winners of the latest GRASP awards (Grants for Research and School Partnerships).
Sixteen applications were received from 29 different co-investigators, which were reviewed by a panel of senior researchers. Based on the combined scores of the reviewers, three projects with investigators from three different schools were selected for funding.
The goal of the awards is to encourage collaborative research between various parts of the institution.
The funded applications include basic laboratory research, translational studies, clinical projects, and environmental investigations.
The following applications were awarded financial support:
• Takkin Lo and Traci Marin: “Angiogenesis: mechanisms in normoxia, hypoxia, and hyperoxia”
• Stephen Dunbar and Danilo Boskovic: “Heavy metals and POPs in hawksbills and their prey—implications for human health”
• Serkan Inceoglu and Rodrigo Viecilli: “Biomechanics of severe apical root resorption”
