The Stanford Maternal and Child Health Research Institute (MCHRI) Uytengsu-Hamilton 22q11 Neuropsychiatry Research Awards Program aims to promote research to improve the neurocognitive outcomes and behavioral symptoms of 22q11 Deletion Syndrome with immediate (within 5 years) and long term impact. This program will support a wide range of scientific approaches from basic stem cell biology, clinical translational research to integrated medicine and data science, for up to 2 years of funding that could best (or only) be performed by faculty from different disciplines. We strongly encourage faculty from different schools to work together on these initiatives, and strongly promote collaborations between basic and physician scientists.

A multi-PI approach is strongly encouraged for this initiative where at least two of these lead investigators are from different disciplines and schools, however, single-PI applications will be considered if the scientific rationale is compelling. This program will fund innovative projects in the following categories:

Category I: Novel Therapeutics and Transdisciplinary Innovation ($150K/year)
Category II: Integrative Medicine and Data Science ($100K/year)

LETTER OF INTENT DEADLINE: Thursday, August 15, 2019 - 5:00 p.m.

*Submit your letter of intent (LOI) to mchri_admin@stanford.edu with the program name in the email subject line. You do not need to submit your LOI via your RPM.
