The program seeks to support and foster multidisciplinary collaborations, especially between UAB clinicians and basic and physician scientists.The University of Alabama at Birminghams Immunology Institute Pilot Project program has selected three research projects to award funding during its inaugural year.

The three projects awarded include:

The pilot grant program received matching funding from the ONeal Comprehensive Cancer Center at UAB, so the three awarded projects will be funded for one to two years.

The pilot grant program is housed in the Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicines Immunology Institute and serves as a central focal point for coordinating immunologic research across various disciplines. The program seeks to support and foster multidisciplinary collaborations, especially between UAB clinicians and basic and physician scientists.

UAB immunology-focused investigators actively explore the power of the immune system to treat and prevent infectious diseases, transplant organ rejection, autoimmunity, allergy, cancer and numerous inflammatory-based conditions.

Applications for 2025 funding opportunities will open later this fall.
