We received a total of 20 proposals between the ATP-Bio Convergent Research Program (RFP003) and the ATP-Bio Stakeholder-Inspired Research Program (SIRP004). There were many excellent proposals this cycle and it was a challenge to select awardees from among them. Based on a range of selection criteria as well as ATP-Bio's programmatic needs, we identified the projects that will receive funding in Y5 for a period of one year beginning September 2024.
Congratulations to ALL THE research teams for their new ATP-Bio funded activity!
Post-Doctoral Researcher Positions @ ATP-BIO Institutes
ATP-Bio is currently seeking multiple postdoctoral/researcher candidates for leadership roles within a new research center at the University of Minnesota (UMN), the Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School (MGH/HMS), the University of California at Berkley (UCB), the University of California at Riverside (UCR), Texas A&M (TAMU) and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). These positions will include extensive collaboration across our institutions and industrial partners and thus provide wide-ranging opportunities for training, networking, and mentorship for either tenure- or industry-track career paths.
