AMOUNT:

Varies

ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS:

Two types of applicants should consider applying for support: (1) independent junior faculty who wish to expand their research by the use of stem cells and (2) more senior, established investigators who wish to re-direct their research, in whole or in part, to include the use of stem cells.

AGENCY/DEPARTMENT:

National Institutes of Health (NIH)

SUMMARY:

This program will encourage investigators to obtain the training they need to appropriately use stem cells in their research. The use of stem cells in biomedical research offers the potential for significant advances in the next decades, provided investigators not only understand this potential, but are equipped to take advantage of it. This award will enable investigators to change the direction of their research careers or to take time from their regular professional responsibilities to broaden their scientific background by acquiring new research capabilities, specifically in the use of human or animal embryonic, adult or cord blood stem cells.
