Blue-Sky AMR Award

Partnering with the Centre de recherche en biologie structurale (CRBS), the AMR Centre is please to support the Blue-Sky AMR Award, available through the 2024 CRBS "Blue-Sky Seed Funding” Competition in their CRBS-Partner funding stream. The team of 2-3 PIs must include at least one member of the CRBS and one member of the AMR Centre. The award will provide funding up to $20,000 per investigator per year (not renewable) to generate preliminary data and provide evidence for collaborations to enable the team to seek additional funding from other agencies. Funds can support trainees, travel that is essential for the project, and operating funds.  

Contact csb.med [at] mcgill.ca for more information and the application process. The deadline for submissions is March 31, 2024.
