Research proposals can cover any field of interest. Some examples include wastewater surveillance work, human or livestock microbiome research, sentinel surveillance, assay development, infectious disease diagnostics, or vaccine development.
This latest challenge is the third innovation challenge held at ATCC. Our past challenges include our 2021 challenge, which called for proposals demonstrating novel applications of ATCC products in respiratory disease or COVID-19 research, and a recent challenge in early 2022 that focused on how researchers are currently using or plan to use ATCC exosomes in new, interesting, or daring applications.
The submission period for our current challenge ends on September 23, 2022, so start preparing your proposal!
