Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals Collaborative Science Pilot Awards to accelerate five promising research projects







To encourage and advance team science between clinical and basic science faculty, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and University Hospitals (UH) jointly funded five research teams engaged in new and promising scientific studies.
The Collaborative Science Pilot Awards, a program supported by the CWRU-UH Joint Strategic Leadership Committee, recently awarded each team $50,000 with the possibility of receiving additional funding as substantial research progress is made and scientific milestones are met.

Established two years ago, the awards program aims to inspire innovative research projects across Case Western Reserve and UH. The awards leverage the evolution of scientific endeavors in which research is shifting to teams, promoting collaboration to more effectively move science forward.

“Collaboration and mentorship are essential for the advancement of science, innovation and medicine,” said Stan Gerson, dean and senior vice president for medical affairs at the School of Medicine and director of the National Center for Regenerative Medicine at Case Western Reserve. “We are very pleased to see more proposals submitted by senior investigator and early-career faculty together this year. The interdisciplinary mentorship and collaboration that transpires across research and clinical enterprises facilitates problem-solving, enables the navigation of challenges and provides the support and guidance necessary for researchers at all career levels to thrive.”

The funding awarded in late 2024 builds on an initiative launched in 2023 when the School of Medicine and UH formed five groups focused on five key research areas: infection, immune response and immunotherapy; cancer; brain health; genetics, genomic and genetic therapeutics; and health services.

A scientific committee of leading investigators evaluated a record number of proposals submitted by research teams last year.

NASA Awards UH $1.2 Million to Strengthen Diversity in STEM and Aerospace Engineering

Image
  NASA is awarding the University of Houston $1.2 million to grow diversity initiatives in STEM and aerospace -related engineering fields and address barriers to access and success for historically underserved and underrepresented students. The award is for a project called the Partnership for Inclusivity in Engineering Education and Research for Space, also known as PIE  2 RS, a synergistic collaboration between  UH ,  UH -Clear Lake, NASA’s Johnson Space Center, the Boeing Company and the Greater Houston Partnership. “Our research , as well as the research of leading scholars, has highlighted the challenges underrepresented students face, including isolation, marginalization, racial bias and hostile educational environments,” says Jerrod A. Henderson, assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at  UH  and the project’s principal investigator. “Our goal with PIE  2 RS is to improve the recruitment and retention of students in aerosp...

Four Illinois researchers receive Presidential Early Career Award

Image
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Four researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign were named recipients of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers , the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. government on young professionals at the outset of their independent research careers. The winners this year are health and kinesiology professor Marni Boppart , physics professor Barry Bradlyn, chemical and biomolecular engineering professor Ying Diao and computer scienceprofessor Edgar Solomonik. Professor Marni Boppart Photo by Michelle Hassel Boppart is the Saul J. Morse and Anne B. Morgan Professor in Applied Health Sciences and studies molecular and cellular mechanisms responsible for the health benefits of exercise. This information is then used to develop novel cell- and pharmacological-based interventions that can prevent or treat loss of muscle mass and function with age. She is the recipient of numerous awards including the Allen Distinguished Investigator Award, ...
