Sagol Center for Regenerative Medicine Call for grant proposals 2023-2024
We congratulate the Tel Aviv university faculty for winning the SCRM 2023 Collaboration and Starter Grants.
The SCRM, directed by Prof. Benjamin Dekel, will continue to support cutting edge research in the field of regenerative medicine.
If you would like to be updated on future call for grants please connect with the SCRM LinkedIn account.
To create a basis for therapeutic solutions and to encourage cooperation between different departments at TAU and affiliated hospitals, a proof-of-concept approach for pre-clinical models should be the basis for the starting applications. The pre-clinical models can be ex-vivo/in-vivo/computational/quantitative and emphasizing the model abilities to develop into interdisciplinary structure under the wider umbrella of the regenerative medicine discipline.
Eligibility-

Support is approved for the course of 1 year (12 months). A progress report is due at the end of the year.
Starting grants are with an option for extension for next year – At the end of the 1st year, projects will be reviewed to ensure that the objectives of the research program are being met and then grant awardees are eligible to apply for another $25,000 grant and for a $120,000 award if there are sufficient preliminary results.
