The intent of the BMFRP NIA is to support the career transition and/or continued development of promising, independent, non-mentored investigators, who are in the early stages of their scientific careers, in the field of BMF disease research.
Principal Investigators (PIs) should have a strong
credit:
desire to pursue a career as a BMF researcher and demonstrate the potential for a successful career focused on BMF research.
Experience in BMF research is not required.
PIs with a limited background in BMF research are strongly encouraged to include a collaborator who is experienced and has published in the field of BMF research.
Additionally, the research proposed by the PI should include innovative ideas and approaches with the potential for high impact to meet the objectives of the FY10 BMFRP.
