Duke Transplant Center -- Pilot & Feasibility Studies Award

Funding Agency:
Duke University

The Duke Transplant Center is pleased to announce the 2nd annual DTC Pilot and Feasibility Studies RFA, due May 15, 2021.

Through this funding opportunity announcement we aim to accomplish two specific objectives:

  1. to catalyze collaborations between investigators within and outside the DTC; and
  2. to identify and validate novel approaches for personalizing transplantation aiming at risk stratifying, monitoring, and enhancing transplant graft outcome.

 

We look forward to receiving your proposals in response to the funding announcement and your continued involvement in the transplant research community.

We welcome applications  across the spectrum of research that relate to our theme and support our ultimate goal of optimizing transplant organ longevity and improving quality of life of transplant recipients.

 

Funds are expected to begin July 1, 2021.
