Catalyst Grant: Systems Biology Approaches to Immunotherapy – Funding Decisions Notification (August 2008 Competition – 200808CSB)

The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is pleased to announce the results of the Catalyst Grant: Systems Biology Approaches to Immunotherapy competition.

Funding Opportunity Summary

The objectives of the Catalyst Grant: Systems Biology Approaches to Immunotherapy competition were to:

• Address scientific questions/problems by applying a systems biology approach to immune modulation in clinical situations. It is hoped such linkages will result in the enhancement of treatment of immune-based diseases through the development of individualized and/or synergistic treatments, minimized interventions, multidimensional uses of medications, time and space sensitive treatments and predictive medicine;
• Enhance our understanding of many normal biological functions and disease conditions by the application and integration of systems biology approaches to traditional medicine through a focus on immunotherapy, immune modulation and inflammation.

Funding Competition Summary

A total of 10 applications were received of which 5 were approved for funding.
