Single Cell Genomics Funding for Munck-Pfefferkorn Applications

Dear Colleagues,

The Center for Quantitative Biology is pleased to announce contributions to Munck-Pfefferkorn applications.

In an effort to support innovative applications of single cell genomics and spatial transcriptomics technologies, the Single Cell Genomics (SCG) core will provide additional funding for Munck-Pfefferkorn applications leveraging these tools. Up to $10k in funding is available to match budget line items relating directly to single cell genomics or spatial transcriptomics experiments conducted in the SCG core. Interested applicants should send a 1 paragraph LOI to Fred Kolling in the SCG (fred.w.kolling.iv@dartmouth.edu). Please contact Fred with any questions you may have on experimental design and/or budget.

Details about the Munck-Pfefferkorn Fund call for proposals are included below.  Deadline: April 30th.

We are excited to provide this support and look forward to working with those that are interested.

Best Regards,

Fred Kolling

Munck-Pfefferkorn Call for Proposals

Dear Colleagues:

We are now accepting proposals for our fifth annual Munck-Pfefferkorn Education and Research Fund—Novel and Interactive Grant Initiative (the Munck-Pfefferkorn Fund). Please see the Munck Pfefferkorn Call for Proposals-2021 for application criteria and guidelines. Proposals should be submitted to Nathan Smith at Nathan.A.Smith@dartmouth.edu by April 30, 2021. Please contact Nathan if you have any questions regarding the application and process.

The Munck-Pfefferkorn Education and Research Fund was created to support research and education initiatives within the Geisel School of Medicine, particularly those with a high potential to generate future revenue through grants or entrepreneurial endeavors, and which encourage collaborations among Geisel (and Dartmouth) faculty most likely to generate innovative discoveries that will be of benefit to people. To date, the Munck-Pfefferkorn Novel and Interactive Grant Initiative has provided over $3.1 million in funding across 30 different faculty-led programs. For this next funding cycle, we anticipate an additional $400,000 will be made available to support meritorious projects involving Geisel faculty.

Please note that applicants are encouraged to collaborate within as well as across departments and throughout Dartmouth more broadly to develop proposals for new research projects, entrepreneurial endeavors, shared equipment and facilities, and to leverage other funding opportunities whenever possible.
