Science Center Funding Announcement

CSL-Science Center Research Acceleration Initiative is awarding three proposals of $200,000 per year for up to two years (max $400,000 funding).

Behring is a leading global biotechnology company that develops and delivers innovative biotherapies to help people living with life threatening medical conditions live full lives. CSL has partnered with the University City Science Center, a nonprofit institution dedicated to identifying and nurturing promising technology for over 50 years, to build the CSL-Science Center Research Acceleration Initiative. The initiative is designed to source research and fast-track discovery through partnerships between CSL and regional research institutions. Selected projects receive funding and access to industry resources for scientists working on novel technologies in CSL’s therapeutic areas.

FUNDING MECHANISM

The Initiative will fund up to three proposals in 2020. Successful applicants will receive up to $200,000 per year for up to two years (maximum $400,000 funding) to accelerate translation of their research. Because the awards will be in the form of research partnerships, interested investigators must engage their institution’s technology transfer office prior to submitting an application. Applications will be accepted through April 13, 2020.
