Marine Biological Laboratory Grant

Organization - Marine Biological Laboratory
Grant Amount - $277,500
Foundation - Moore Foundation
Grant Purpose - This grant to the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) is intended to expand the pool of new international scholars specializing in microbial diversity and ecology through the support of the MBL Microbial Diversity Course. These researchers will be trained in the use of state-of-the art technologies to develop and carry out independent microbiology research investigations, consistent with the mid and long-term Initiative objective of interdisciplinary training of new scientists. Research investigations will result in publicly accessible publications and presentations of novel research findings at international microbiology conventions.
