Seed Grant
The Vera Moulton Wall Center for Pulmonary Vascular Disease at Stanford University is pleased to announce seed grant funding to support groundbreaking research in the field of pulmonary vascular disease.
GOALS
- To fund strategic research in pulmonary vascular disease campus wide
- To foster new collaborations between different research programs and departments
- To promote innovative and groundbreaking research in pulmonary hypertension
We particularly wish to encourage proposals that are multidisciplinary
and foster new collaborative relationships between physicians and scientists, and that have the potential to transform clinical care or fundamental understanding of pulmonary hypertension. Proposals focusing on human genetic advances in pulmonary vascular disease are strongly encouraged.
YOUNG INVESTIGATOR AWARDS
Current Stanford postdoctoral or clinical fellows, or research associates are eligible to apply. The work proposed should be innovative and disease focused. Young investigator applicants must have an accompanying faculty sponsor and include a letter confirming laboratory support, time, and resources necessary to carry out the study. Funds up to $75,000 per project are available. Applicants should be able to complete proposed projects within the terms of their current appointment.
FACULTY SEED GRANTS
Stanford University faculty members (UTL, NTLR, MCL) are eligible. Instructors may apply as a PI with a letter of support from Division Chief or Department Chair. Funds in the amount of up to $100,000 per project are available.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Applications are accepted throughout the year and are reviewed on an individual basis. All grant applications will be reviewed and evaluated by members of the VMWC Steering Committee.

REVIEW CRITERIA
Proposals will be evaluated based on significance, innovation, approach, co-operation between programs, and potential for translation to practice. Part of the evaluation of the seed grants will be an assessment of the likelihood the pilot research project will attract new or additional extramural funding. Preference will be given to applicants that are currently not engaged in research involving pulmonary hypertension.
