Scientific Symposium on Metabolomics

Scientific Symposium: Metabolomics, the Underlying Basis of Disease was hosted at the University of Alabama-Birmingham School of Medicine. Both Dr. Stephen Barnes and Dr. Andrew Patterson grantees of the Metabolomics program presented at the symposium. An overview, agenda with copies of the presentations given at the Symposium can be found here.

Call for Pilot and Feasibility Project Applications from Regional Comprehensive Metabolomics Resource Cores.

Pilot and Feasibility Projects

The three Regional Comprehensive Metabolomics Research Cores (RCMRC) are accepting applications for exploratory biomedical research projects utilizing metabolomics technology. These PILOT AND FEASIBILY STUDIES (P/F) are intended to provide opportunities for investigators to advance basic, clinical and translational biomedical science by incorporating metabolomic technologies into their research.

These awards are intended to support projects that will provide preliminary data for new extramural proposal submission. The application deadline is March 1, 2013 and earliest funding start date May 1, 2013.

All basic, translational, or clinical investigators located at institutions within the United States who are eligible to apply as a PI for NIH grants. Young investigators and investigators who are new to the field of metabolomics are especially encouraged to apply.
