The Stark Neurosciences Pre-Clinical Neuroimaging Pilot Grant aims to stimulate the creation of novel knowledge within the field of neurosciences by supporting the initiation of funded research projects. It offers seed funding of up to $10,000 for groundbreaking, high-risk animal imaging studies that utilize the Bruker BioSpec 9.4T PET-MRI scanner, part of the IIBIS In-Vivo Imaging Core. Specifically, the grant targets two groups: new investigators with no current or prior NIH research funding as a Principal Investigator (PI) or Program Director (PD).
