The Transplantation Society (TTS) is proud to announce the launch of its Bridge Grant Program, a new initiative designed to help promising researchers from LMICs strengthen their proposals for future funding success.
Each Bridge Grant provides $5,000 in support to trainees and early-career investigators from LMICs who applied to the TTS Research Grants competition and whose applications was deemed by the Awards and Grants committee to have strong potential but did not meet the threshold for funding. The goal of this program is to help recipients refine their research methodology, gather pilot data, and position their projects for success in upcoming TTS or external grant opportunities.
As part of this initiative, recipients will also benefit from personalized mentorship through the TTS Research Mentor Program. Each Bridge Grant awardee will be paired with an experienced Senior TTS mentor from an established research program.
