Edmond J. Safra Center, TAD & Shaare Zedek Medical Center - Joint Grants Call
The Collaborative Clinical Bioinformatics and AI Research Grants of
The Edmond J. Safra Center for Bioinformatics, The Center for AI and Data Science at Tel Aviv University (TAD) and Eisenberg R&D Authority, Shaare Zedek Medical Center (SZMC)
To foster collaborations between researchers at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Bioinformatics, The Center for AI and Data Science at Tel Aviv University (TAD) and Eisenberg R&D Authority, Shaare Zedek Medical Center (SZMC), we published a joint call for grants aiming to support fundamental and translational collaborative research that combines novel computational techniques, AI and clinical applications. The grants awarded are 130,000 NIS each. Each proposal was reviewed by independent reviewers. Final decisions were made by the grant committee.
