MYELOPROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS (MPD) NEW INVESTIGATOR AWARDS
Call for Proposals: July 2008
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The MPD Foundation seeks proposals for the 2008 MPD New Investigator Awards program, an initiative supporting:
-
Emerging investigators who are considering a career related to research in the myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs)
-
Established investigators in other fields who are interested in bringing their experience, skills and ideas to research in the MPDs
Applications for the MPD New Investigator Award Program are due October 15, 2008. The goal of this initiative is to expand the breadth of MPD research being conducted in academic institutions by encouraging new researchers and established scientists to engage in basic and translational research into causes and treatments of myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs).
Proposals may request up to $75,000 including up to 8% indirect costs. Awards are anticipated to be in the range of $50,000 - $75,000 per year. Renewal of the grant for a second year will be based on satisfactory progress as determined through review by the Scientific Advisory Board of the MPD Foundation.
