Pilot & Feasibility Program
The Pilot and Feasibility Program provides research support for a limited time (one or two years) to enable eligible investigators to explore the feasibility of a concept related to the mission of the Beta Cell Biology Consortium (BCBC) and generate sufficient data to pursue it through other funding mechanisms. The pilot and feasibility studies are intended to: (1) allow exploration of possible innovative new leads or new directions for established investigators in stem cell biology, developmental and regenerative biology of the pancreas and beta-cell replacement therapeutic strategies; and (2) stimulate investigators from other fields of science to lend their expertise to research in these areas.
