Harvard Catalyst collaborative funding opportunity
Novel imaging techniques are invaluable for exploring the mechanism of action of new drugs and the underlying physiology of disease in multiple organ systems. A growing array of rapidly evolving technologies clearly has promise far beyond what is obvious — and clinical investigators are only beginning to learn how these technologies might be best or most creatively used. To address this gap, Harvard Catalyst, The Harvard Clinical and Translational Research Center presents a unique funding opportunity: “Using Imaging to Transform Medicine,” a collaboration between the center’s Pilot Grants and Innovation and Implementation (I2) programs. The objective is to study the applications of leading-edge imaging technologies, including physiological MR (magnetic resonance), positron emission tomography, and optical imaging, and develop innovative clinical applications. All Harvard-affiliated faculty are eligible to apply for the one-year Pilot Research Grants of up to $50,000, from an available pool of up to $750,000. In addition, all Harvard-affiliated personnel, including staff...
