Launchpad Funding Initiative

The primary goal of this new initiative is to provide a more nimble and efficient platform for investigators to launch innovative and impactful research projects. That is, rather than a static, once a year distribution of funds, Launchpad will implement a rolling submissions strategy that allows investigators to more rapidly submit ideas on an ongoing basis to be reviewed for potential funding.

For more information, please view the research funding opportunities page.
