UNMC’s Department of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology has awarded Research Grant Awards to three fellows.
The RGA program was created in 2024 to provide up to $10,000 funding for high-quality research projects leading to publications by departmental clinical trainees for whom other funding sources are not available. The aim of this program is to advance the experience and mentorship in clinical and translational research.
