SRUF Early Career Grant Recipients

 

The SRU Research Committee recently held the first SRU Early Career Grant Review process led by Dr. Arthur Fleischer (Chair) and Dr. Manjiri Dighe (Vice Chair). The SRU Foundation Seed Grant is intended to assist investigators in defining objectives and testing hypotheses before they apply for major grants from corporations, foundations or government agencies.
