M-BRISC Pilot Grant Program

The FY24 Pilot Grant Competition is now closed!

The Frankel Cardiovascular Center (FCVC) M-BRISC Grant Competition is specifically designed to foster innovation and promote collaboration among faculty, staff, clinicians, and scientists to further research at Michigan Medicine in the area of sex differences in cardiovascular disease.

The Frankel Cardiovascular Center M-BRISC Program will support innovative basic, translational, or clinical projects that encompass the fundamental biology of sex differences as it applies to cardiovascular physiology of disease. Those submitting proposals must have a primary appointment within the University of Michigan and be a member of the Frankel Cardiovascular Center faculty. Applications from postdoctoral fellows and doctoral students who are mentored by Frankel Cardiovascular Center faculty members will also be considered. These trainees are encouraged to apply in collaboration with their mentor.

Successful projects will be those with the greatest potential to develop into high impact publications and long-term focused research, leading to extramural funding and advances in human health.
