The purpose of this program is to support the establishment of new research in the Department of Surgery. This year, we have introduced three application categories:
- Support for a new investigator in starting a new research project
- Support for an established researcher’s pilot/feasibility study
- Support for an established researcher launching a project in a new research area
Seed Grant recipients will be requested to present their work at one of the departmental events.
$75,000 in funding is available for the 2022/2023 fiscal year, with up to $15,000 awarded per application.
