Award Details
Proposals from Principal Investigators in Chemical Biology will be considered for high-risk and high-reward science research projects which have the potential to lead to science discoveries/solutions and, based on further research, to breakthrough treatments for patients. PI's must be 15 or fewer years since starting their independent research career.
For 2025, subjects of interest include but are not limited to:
- Modulating interactome and cell/tissue crosstalk
- Manipulating biomolecular condensates and protein quality control systems
- Deep understanding and emerging applications of chemical glycobiology
- New concepts of drug delivery and localization to tissue/cell/organelle
- Understanding and leveraging allostery in biology
Ono continues to welcome projects outside of these subjects.
Awards will provide $900,000 over three years for research and will provide up to 15% in additional funding to cover institutional indirect costs.
Three Awards are planned for the ninth year (2025).
