Young Researcher Innovation Forum
The CMT Research Foundation (CMTRF) understands that groundbreaking progress often stems from novel and sometimes fresh ideas and that these innovative ideas often come from the new generation of scientific minds. To foster such innovation, the CMTRF has established the Young Researcher Innovation Grant for CMT Research. This grant will award $25,000 project-based grants to young researchers with pioneering ideas aimed at addressing major challenges in CMT drug development, with the potential for higher amounts awarded to junior PIs.
Join us on Thursday, September 26th, at the Royal Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge, MA, to discuss the key challenges in CMT drug development, brainstorm potential solutions, and provide detailed information about the Young Researcher Innovation Grant requirements and deadlines. Attending this forum will be a requirement to qualify for the 2024-2025 grants.
