Merkin Innovation Seed Grants

Submission Deadline: End of day (PDT) Friday, Nov. 1, 2024

The Merkin Institute invites proposals for the next round of Merkin Innovation Seed (MIS) Grants to fund one-year projects of up to $150K each. These awards provide early support for translational projects, emphasizing partnerships between Caltech labs and clinicians, who will typically be from outside Caltech. Projects developed with clinicians based at City of Hope, USC, UCLA and Kaiser Permanente are all preferred. Project teams including non-local clinical collaborators will also be eligible.
