HIRN Funding Opportunity Announcement: Catalyst Award

Here is the information from the Human Islet Research Enhancement Center (HIREC) at City of Hope:

"HIRN Funding Announcement: Catalyst Award

The Human Islet Research Network (HIRN) announces a new funding initiative to support investigators developing bold, innovative, and challenging projects that will catalyze the field and provide  important advances in topics of interest to the network. To be considered  “catalyzing”, the proposed research must address significant and currently intractable problems by employing approaches or ideas that are currently outside the mainstream of contemporary research. The program is not intended to expand a current research program's funding in the area of the proposed project, but instead must reflect a fundamental new insight or understanding that will revolutionize the field. Catalyzing advances may emanate from the application of exceptionally innovative approaches and/or from testing radically unconventional hypotheses. Applicants must propose aims focused on an original scientific idea or question that is distinct from current HIRN funded research. The scientific focus of application to the HIRN Catalyst program must fall within the purview of one (or more) of the current HIRN consortia.
