UK Center of Biomedical Research Excellence on Obesity and Cardiovascular Diseases
The NIH Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) on Obesity and Cardiovascular Diseases, in collaboration with the UK Center for Clinical and Translational Sciences (CCTS), announces the availability of limited funds to support pilot projects focused on research examining obesity-associated diseases.
Emphasis for support will be placed on pilot projects that examine the relationship between obesity and cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, COVID-19, cancer, or neurodegenerative diseases. These pilot grants are intended to assist investigators new to this area of research to generate sufficient data to be competitive for extramural funding.
Individual project awards (up to $50,000 in direct costs only) will be made on a competitive basis and must be spent by July 31, 2024.
Applications due Sept. 25, 2023.
