Ono Pharma Foundation:
2024 Breakthrough Initiative Awards
Provides early- and mid-career faculty with support for highly innovative basic research projects at the interface of chemistry and biology that have the potential to lead to significant breakthroughs in the prevention and treatment of disease. The criteria for this field are deliberately broad so as not to disqualify potentially groundbreaking projects. Projects should be highly ambitious, high-risk, high-reward, and too early-stage to find support from traditional funding sources.
Interested applicants are invited to join a Q&A on the 2024 program on Tuesday, December 12, 11:00 AM with Ono Pharma Foundation President Hiroshi Ochiai. Please RSVP your attendance here.
Campus Limited Submissions Process: Interested applicants must first submit a brief Notice of Intent (NOI) while preparing a campus application. The NOI is required but is non-binding. Notices of Intent should be submitted using Berkeley’s InfoReady portal by the NOI deadline listed above.
- Award Amount: $900k plus 15% for indirect costs
- Deadlines:
- Notice of Intent to Apply due to VCRO: January 5, 2024
