These 10 one-year awards were made after applications were received from throughout Brown University and affiliated hospitals. The goal of the request for pilot grant applications was to encourage collaboration and basic-translational research across the academic medical center and within the Legorreta Cancer Center’s research programs in Cancer Biology, Cancer Therapeutics, and Population Science.  Thomas Bartnikas, MD, PhD,  Diana Treaba, MD, and Ece Uzun, PhD are part of the 10 faculty members who have been awarded the 2022 Pilot Funds.

2022 Pilot Award Winners

Dr. Eric Darling Receives Research Experience for Teachers Award

Dr. Eric Darling, Associate Professor of Medical Science was recently awarded a Research Experience for Teachers.  This is a $20,000 supplement to his NSF grant. These funds will support having two local high school teachers join Dr. Darling's lab in the summer and learn about interdisciplinary research. By the end of this experience, they will develop their own interdisciplinary exercise that can be implemented in the classroom to introduce high school students to how math/science subjects often integrate together.
