Greetings ATP-Bio Community & Member Partners!
The Convergent Research (CR) and Innovation Ecosystem (IE) Pillars are pleased to announce the ATP-Bio Request for Proposals (RFP/SIRP) released in April 2024 attracted a lot of interest! 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 (which took a bit longer than expected), we finally identified the projects that will receive funding in Y5 for a period of one year beginning September 2024.
Congratulations to the following research teams for their new ATP-Bio funded activity!
