Funding Available for Research in Cell and Tissue Metabolism
The focus of the NIH-funded Arkansas Integrative Metabolic Research Center (AIMRC) is to understand the role of cell and tissue metabolism in disease, development or repair through research involving advanced imaging, bioenergetics and data science.
Does your research measure an aspect of metabolism or elucidate the role of metabolism within a biomedical application? Then this funding opportunity is for you! The AIMRC pilot project program is designed to provide funding for faculty to generate data for publications and for competitive grant applications to NIH or other federal agencies. Successful Pilot Project applications will be collaborative, interdisciplinary and should expand the applicant’s research focus.
Anticipated award dates are July 1, 2024, to May 15, 2025. Budgets between $25,000-$50,000 in direct costs can be requested. Awardees will have an opportunity to apply for a second year of funding to continue successful projects.
The deadline for application submission is April 15 at 11:59 p.m.
