Congratulations to the 2025 Research Catalyst Grant Awardees

Thursday, May 22, 2025

The results of the 2025 Research Catalyst Grant competition were recently announced, with two Tisch faculty awarded.

These grants support faculty-initiated research on a competitive basis, serving as an incentive for investigators to explore new areas of currently unfunded research that have the potential to attract external funding. They also provide crucial support for those engaged in scholarship in fields with limited funding sources.

In an increasingly competitive federal funding landscape, these grants provide essential early-stage support, allowing faculty to advance innovative ideas, generate preliminary data, and strengthen future funding applications. 

Congratulations to the Tisch faculty recognized!
