NIH Director’s New Innovator Award – Funding opportunities for unusually creative early stage investigators
Elizabeth Seckel, M.A., is the Director of Strategic Research Development for Cardiovascular Medicine. She is also part of the Route to Getting Grants Planning Committee since 2019.
Dr. Daniel Herschlag, Ph.D., is a Professor of Biochemistry and, by courtesy, of Chemical Engineering. The overarching goal of his research is to understand the fundamental behavior of RNA and proteins and, in turn, how these behaviors determine and impact biology and how it has evolved. His lab takes an interdisciplinary approach, spanning and integrating physics, chemistry and biology, and employing a wide range of techniques.
Dr. Xiaojing Gao, Ph.D., is the Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering. Dr. Gao’s lab engineers biomolecules, molecular circuits, viruses, and cells, combining quantitative experimental analysis with computational simulation with outcomes that will contribute to not only specific biomedical applications but also the foundation for engineering mammalian biology. He is the recipient of the Rising Star Award (BMES CMBE 2024), Trailblazer Award (R21; National Institutes of Health/NIBIB 2022), and the NARSAD Young Investigator Grant (Brain & Behavior Research Foundation 2022).
Xiaojing Gao is a 2023 NIH Director’s New Innovator Award Recipient.
Route to Getting Grants (R2G2) is specially designed for early-career faculty at Stanford. Sessions cover all aspects of grant writing, delivered through panel sessions, workshops and focused talks. R2G2 also provides unique networking opportunities, enabling cross faculty collaborations and multidisciplinary partnerships. R2G2 ensures that early-career faculty have all the tools and strategies to lead them to grant success and on to independent research careers.
