The MRM launches its internal funding competition
One of the main goals of the MRM Network is to synergize research that seeks novel forward-looking insights and discovery into a basic understanding of stem cells biology, which ultimately translate into novel technologies and regenerative medicine. Toward this end, it is crucial that the MRM support discoveries by our researchers by facilitating the use of the numerous quality platforms built across McGill University. Thus, the MRM put in place a special fund to support pilot research projects using these MRM-affiliated core facilities.
The MRM Network will sponsor three funding competitions each year to award three to five dedicated research projects involving the use of one of the technological core facilities affiliated to the Network.
Eligibility
- The Principal Investigator applying to the competition must be a current MRM Member.
- Funding must be used for a project involving use of core facilities affiliated with the Network.
Conditions
- The MRM will fund up to a maximum of $8,000.
- The MRM Network must be acknowledged in any publication including data generated during the course of the funded project.
- The funding must be used within six months of its approval by the Funding & Infrastructure Committee.
Application procedure
