Early Career Catalyst Award

The Rainin Foundation invites Letters of Inquiry for the Early Career Catalyst Award . The Foundation is making these one-time awards, totaling $1 million, to commemorate our 15^th anniversary of formal grantmaking. The Early Career Catalyst Award will support the work of two early career investigators, in any field, whose research has the potential to improve the lives of people with IBD. One grant will support a basic research project, and the other grant will support a translational/therapeutic research project. 

Applicant must be an independent researcher, with no more than five years from the time of appointment to an independent faculty position.
