Faculty invited to apply for Boettcher Investigator status
The grants are intended to fund translational research that advances a discovery closer to clinical applications and that will improve the understanding, treatment and prevention of human disease. Awardees will carry the prestigious title of Boettcher Investigator.
The 2013 awardees will be early career investigators who are within four years of appointment in a career-track academic position and who have not previously received a major independent award. Four CU faculty researchers will receive $225,000 for research conducted over a one- to three-year period. Eligible faculty from all four CU campuses are encouraged to apply.
