Funding Opportunity Announcement

CMTM FY21 Seed Grant Program

We are pleased to announce that the BU Center for Multiscale and Translational Mechanobiology has created a seed grant program.

The CMTM seed grants are intended to stimulate innovative research in mechanobiology.  Proposed projects should have a focus on one or more of the following areas:

  • Research in mechanobiology that spans and integrates multiple length scales and/or multiple time scales
  • Translational research driven by mechanobiology principles
  • Research that develops and/or heavily uses mathematical modeling to help understand and predict mechanobiological phenomena

Proposals must be for collaborative projects involving two or more faculty within the Center.  Collaborative proposals between multiple departments, colleges, and campuses are highly encouraged.

Applicants may request up to $25,000 total award amount, and all funds must be expended during the 2020-21 academic year.  The Center expects to award up to four pilot grants this year, the inaugural year.

Applications are due Wednesday, September 23, 2020.
