Due Dates: Rolling deadline
Funding Amounts: Up to $10,000 per award; 4 awards anticipated; minimum 1:1 matching funds required.
Summary: Supports new mass spectrometry projects at Stanford using advanced instrumentation for targeted quantitation and pilot data generation.
Key Information: Matching funds required; projects must be new to SUMS; one proposal per PI.
Description
The Stanford University Mass Spectrometry Targeted Quantitation Seed Grant Program aims to foster innovative research projects that leverage the advanced sensitivity and selectivity of newly acquired mass spectrometry instrumentation. The program is designed to support ready-to-start projects involving absolute targeted quantitation of small molecules, particularly those that can generate pilot data for future external research proposals. It also encourages the development of new workflows and methodologies, and the integration of mass spectrometry into emerging research areas.
Projects should be new to the Stanford University Mass Spectrometry (SUMS) facility and not continuations of existing work. The program places a strong emphasis on collaboration with SUMS staff to optimize project design and methodology selection.
