Health/Medical Research

Grants will be awarded in support of research on allograft tissue transplantation in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Proposed studies should focus on novel translational and clinical research in the fields of tissue allograft transplantation and science, novel uses of allografts, combination with other biomaterials to enhance allograft properties, and transformative regenerative medicine technologies relying on allograft tissues and matrices.

Grants will be awarded in support of clinical or basic science research in the field of arthroscopic surgery or disorders amenable to arthroscopic treatment. Special consideration will be given to proposals focused on the following research areas: ultrasound guided percutaneous needle tenotomy vs. open tenotomy for lateral epicondylitis; arthroscopic meniscectomy vs. physical therapy; Superior Capsular Reconstruction (SCR) vs.

Grants will be awarded in support of basic research studies focused on developing and testing new hypotheses in areas relevant to cystic fibrosis. Information derived from such studies must have the potential to lead to submission to other funding agencies such as the National Institutes of Health. Proposed work must be hypothesis-driven and must reflect innovative approaches to critical questions in CF research.

Grants will be awarded to early-career investigators in support of efforts and expertise in increasing the biological understanding of Tourette Syndrome (TS), pursing clinical research aimed at improving patient care, and developing and testing new therapies.

Grants will be awarded in support of career development and are expected to cover the individual fellow's salary as well as training-related expenses. CSN fellowships are not intended as a fellowship-to-faculty transitional award. Preference will be given to applicants in their first or second year of fellowship.

Applications are invited for investigator-initiated research proposals focused on the broad area of sports medicine multicenter research trials and is for established multicenter groups or networks that have not yet achieved major external funding such as the NIH, DOD, PCORI, etc. The multicenter groups must be focused on clinical research addressing an important clinical problem that requires multicenter involvement to answer the clinical question(s).

Applications are invited for the 2022 Grass Fellowship. Six to nine 14-week fellowships will support investigator-designed independent neuroscience research projects by early career scientists. Fellows will function as an intellectual and social group within the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, MA scientific community while sharing space in the Grass Lab.

Grants will be awarded in support of research in academic allergy and immunology divisions in an effort to benefit patients. 

Grants totaling $100,000 will be awarded in the areas of research and development of brain-related disorders.

Grants will be awarded for independent CME/CE-certified education designed to enhance understanding of the management of hormone sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC), to address gaps related to treatment intensification of mHSPC given the numerous randomized trials that have demonstrated benefit in this space. Proposals should leverage innovative data and content delivery mechanisms including an omnichannel approach.
