Description: |
GlycoNet is a Network of Centres of Excellence (NCE) that focuses on the role of glycans (carbohydrates) in health. Areas of focus are therapeutic proteins & vaccines, antimicrobials and chronic disease, in particular diabetes & obesity, genetic diseases involving errors in glycan metabolism, and cancer. Additional information about Network research can be found at www.glyconet.ca.
In this Request for Proposals we are seeking to fund exploratory projects the successful completion of which would provide preliminary data to support other funding applications either to GlycoNet, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research or a private disease-specific foundation. Projects should: Be aligned with one of the GlycoNet research themes (see glyconet.ca) and be targeted to a specific disease; Be of an applied nature so that after additional funding through other means, the outcomes could lead to novel treatments for disease; Involve the training of Highly Qualified Personnel; Multidisciplinary projects involving two or more research groups will be given preference. |
