15 Mar CTSI and Mellowes Center for Genomic Sciences and Precision Medicine announce NGS-Based Pilot Projects – Sequencing, Bioinformatics, and Analysis RFA
The Clinical & Translational Science Institute of Southeast WI (CTSI) and the Mellowes Center for Genomic Sciences and Precision Medicine (MC) are pleased to announce a new opportunity for small-scale research projects that utilize any combination of the genomic, transcriptomic, or epigenomic technologies and bioinformatics platforms available in the MC. Responsive proposals will describe projects that 1) improve our understanding of disease initiation, progression, or therapeutic resistance, 2) show promise to clinically improve disease prevention, early detection, diagnosis or treatment, or 3) develop novel data that empower future studies translating ‘Omics data into the practice.
This mechanism will fund up to 4 awards across the following categories in 2023:
- Sequencing through bioinformatics projects will receive up to $15,000 for MC services.
- Bioinformatics-only projects will receive up to $5,000 (approximately 45 hours) for MC services.
