The UTRGV Center for Vector-Borne Disease is happy to announce funding for pilot studies. Applications will be accepted starting Sept 1 of each fiscal year (if funds are available). Review of applications will begin on Oct 1. Center members are invited to submit applications, although only one application will be selected each year. Unselected applications may be rolled over to the next year if desired. Priority for funding will be based on probability of obtaining external funding; stage of research career; and if the applicant has already received a pilot study award. Applications can be submitted thought this here. If you have any questions, please contact cvbd@utrgv.edu.
