Small Budget Research Grants
Small Budget Research Grant Program
CBMTG is thrilled to announce the new “Small Budget Research Grant” Program.
This program will provide funds for eligible individuals to undertake multidisciplinary research on various BMT topics. Each grant is a maximum of $5000, for up to 4 individuals per year. We would like to encourage members with all backgrounds, to look at these as ways of doing small projects that will lead to publication in appropriate discipline journals or as pilots for larger projects for which funding via peer reviewed granting agencies can be solicited
The deadline to submit proposals for 2009 has now passed. We look forward to receiving your applications next year; please check back for deadlines.
