M-BRISC researchers seek fundamental knowledge about the nature and behavior of living systems and use the application of that knowledge to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability. These objectives will be furthered by supporting innovative basic, translational, and clinical research projects that encompass the fundamental biology of sex differences as it applies to cardiovascular disease.

The M-BRISC program is proud to announce the addition of a new funding opportunity!
The new PULSE (Progressing Urgent Leads for Sex-informed CVD Etiologies) Grant mechanism is designed to support the development or expansion of pilot data that has strong potential to advance a specific area of research. The ultimate objective is to generate preliminary findings that will strengthen future applications for internal and extramural funding to support a full-scale research project. This is an ongoing award cycle with awards up to $10,000 per application.
Applications for this mechanism must be submitted to MBRISC-info@med.umich.edu
