Description
The Histochemical Society’s Keystone Grants encourage postdoctoral and clinical fellows to use visual techniques that provide biochemical and molecular information about the structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs. The program supports research involving immunohistochemistry, histochemical techniques, in situ hybridization, and related approaches across basic, applied, translational, and clinical research.
The Society prioritizes projects in which these techniques are essential to answering a significant research question and are used effectively and correctly. Review also considers whether the research can be completed successfully, including access to appropriate laboratory space, equipment, mentoring, and institutional support. Recipients are expected to develop technical knowledge of the methods required for their research and disseminate their findings through a scientific manuscript and a conference abstract.
