Mar 1: Winners I&I Boost Grants 2022 and I&I Stimulation Grants 2022
In 2022, strategic research program Infection & Immunity announced two parallel calls for proposals: Boost Grants 2022 (max. € 20.000) and Stimulation Grants 2022 (€ 20.000-50.000). The I&I Boost Grant
Both grant schemes aspire to stimulate sustainable research and collaborations within the infection and immunity community at UMC Utrecht. The applications were evaluated by the I&I Grant Committee that consists of researchers and members from I&I Management Team.
An I&I Boost Grant was awarded to two research proposals, whereas three proposals qualified for an I&I Stimulation Grant (see below). The Grant holders will be asked to present the outcomes/progress of their studies in 2023, at the I&I Annual Scientific Meeting on September 11 (Villa Jongerius, Utrecht).
