March of Dimes Foundation (MDF): Basil O'Connor Starter Scholar Research Award in birth defects

MDF supports research directed at the prevention of birth defects. Research subjects include fundamental cell biology (embryogenesis, cell lineage, differentiation), genetics and genomics, fundamental cellular and clinical pathogenesis of disorders of importance to mothers and infants, biomedical engineering and imaging, and social and behavioral aspects. This award is designed to support young scientists just embarking on their independent research careers and is limited, therefore, to those holding recent faculty appointments. Funding: $75K/year for 2 years.
