Opportunity Details
Recipients will have made significant research contributions to the biomedical sciences, show promise for continuing scientific achievement, and demonstrate leadership in efforts to diversify the sciences. CZI is committed to supporting representative science, which ensures universal benefits from scientific advances, such as studies of diseases that adversely affect underserved populations from specific ancestries, and promotes diversity among researchers toward more inclusive and comprehensive outcomes.
Each award consists of a $1.15 million grant distributed over five years ($230,000 total costs per year, including 15 percent for indirect costs) to the institution of selected awardees. The grant is to support the awardee's research program with reasonable flexibility on how these funds are utilized, provided that funds are used to support the awardee's overall academic program. CZI will convene a mixture of in-person and virtual meetings for which SDLA grantees are expected to participate.
