Description: |
The Disease Challenge Team Grant will support projects that are developing novel cellular or stem cell-related therapeutic approaches to tissue repair and regeneration within specific diseases. Proposals must clearly identify the translational ?bench to bedside? path of the research and where the proposed research stands along the path. Partnerships with health charities or industry are an important component of the project. Partnerships and leveraged funding (in-kind and/or cash) will increase application ranking but are not mandatory. The application needs to be distinct from any other provincial grant (including the ORF) but can stem from the same principles.
Projects that principally involve basic research are encouraged to apply to the New Ideas Grant |
