Transformative Technology Development Awards
Our Transformative Technology Development Award program funds exploratory research projects focused on the inception or development of highly innovative technologies with significant transformative potential for stem cell science and regenerative medicine at UCLA.
Awards support UCLA faculty seeking to develop innovative technologies with broad, clear applications for the advancement of stem cell research.
These awards lay the foundation for new and improved techniques, tools, instrumentation and devices that address key gaps, eliminate bottlenecks and strengthen our research capabilities.
