Congratulations to Drs. Lori Chan, Feng-Qian Li and Markus Seeliger; Awardees for the Targeted Research Opportunities Program.

The following message has been sent on behalf of the Office of Scientific Affairs.

I am pleased to announce the Awardees for the 2016/2017 Targeted Research Opportunities Program.  This year’s program is supported by the School of Medicine, Office of the Vice-President for Research, and the Stony Brook University Cancer Center, coupled with major philanthropic support from the Carol M. Baldwin Foundation, the Catacosinos Foundation, and the Walk-for-Beauty Foundation.

The success of this program is facilitated by the voluntary participation of 32 Stony Brook faculty who willingly provided their time to review the proposals despite busy schedules.  This year, 13 seed grants have been dispersed to 9 distinct departments; and 9 of the principal awardees are Junior Faculty.

The School of Medicine anticipates ongoing support of this important program, and we encourage non-awardees to apply for subsequent opportunities.
