The Maryland Stem Cell Research Fund (MSCRF)

The Maryland Stem Cell Research Fund was established by the Governor and the Maryland General Assembly under the Maryland Stem Cell Research Act of 2006. The purpose of the Fund is to promote State-funded human stem cell research and medical treatments through Grants to public and private entities in the State. More information at http://www.mscrf.org.

The purpose of this Investigator-Initiated Research Grants Program is to attract and support Investigators, who wish to conduct basic, translational and/or clinical research involving human stem cells. The results from this application should broaden and advance the knowledge of human stem cell biology and develop clinical applications for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure of human diseases, injuries and conditions.

Principal Investigators and all other MSCRF-funded personnel must be employed or retained by an eligible Maryland-based research organization while conducting State-funded stem cell research. Such affiliations may be permanent or temporary, full-time or part-time. Applicants from Maryland-based public and private, for-profit and not-for-profit research organizations of all types are eligible for this Award (e.g., universities, colleges, research institutes, companies and medical centers).

Applicants for all Maryland Stem Cell Research Grant Programs may request from $110,000 up to $750,000 over a maximum period of three (3) years.

Once a year cycle with new RFA coming out in early October. Letter of Intent due by mid-November. Full application due by mid-January.
