U of M Coulter Translational Partnership Program Funds Six New Projects for 2008-2009

On March 26, 2008 the UM Coulter Translational Partnership Program hosted a day-long meeting with its Oversight Committee to make funding decisions for the 2008-2009 cycle. This year marks the third year of funding provided by a grant from the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation. A Call for Proposals went out in late 2007 and 13 proposed projects were reviewed at a proposal pre-review meeting in February 2008. Eight finalists were invited to make an oral presentation on their projects to the eight-member oversight committee in March and six were selected to receive funding.

"We are so pleased with the excellent proposals selected for funding this year," commented Mara Neal of the Coulter Foundation. "It really shows the high level of collaboration between the BME faculty and their clinical collaborators from the School of Medicine at the University of Michigan."

Funding for the new projects began April 1, 2008. A list of those projects is found on the UM BME Coulter Site. Congratulations to all awardees!
