Can I apply for subsidized “pilot” scans for new projects?
When you submit a project in the ALBMC database, you can indicate that ALBMC support will be required to complete the project. You should also indicate in the project description that it is a pilot study and describe your plans for pursuing subsequent funding. If the project is subsequently approved from a scientific standpoint, you may then submit an email request for financial support. Please note that scientific approval of such projects in the database does not constitute a commitment by the ALBMC to provide financial support. Funds available to support such projects vary from year to year. The selection of projects for funding depends on fund availability, the scientific quality of the project. Preference is also given to individuals in early stages of a committed academic career.
