Basil O'Connor Starter Scholar Research Award -2019 Program.

March of Dimes provides research grants directed at the prevention of birth defects. Research subjects appropriate for support by the March of Dimes include fundamental cell biology (embryogenesis, cell lineage, organ differentiation), genetics and genomics, molecular and clinical pathogenesis of disorders of importance to mothers and infants, biomedical engineering and imaging, and social and behavioral aspects.

Basil O'Connor Starter Scholar Research Award is designed to support young scientists just embarking on their independent research careers (no more than eight years past their degree) and is limited, therefore, to those holding recent faculty appointments.
