The round three deadline for the Mind-Body Research Scholars
Program is April 3, 2006. Review of applications will be
done between mid April and early May. Successful applicants
will be announced and funds available by June 2006. The scholars
program is intended to create an investigator development

research through mentoring, training in research tools, techniques
and writing skills. The program will also support pilot projects
with seed funding.
These competitive grants of $5000-7500
