CABRI Announces Call for Proposals on Specialized Pro-Resolving Mediator Analytical Methods

The Cayman Biomedical Research Institute (CABRI) is offering research grants in amounts up to $100,000 to support essential research on specialized pro-resolving mediator (SPM) analytical methods.

Ann Arbor, MI, August 26, 2022 --(PR.com)-- The Cayman Biomedical Research Institute (CABRI) is pleased to announce a call for proposals that support essential research on specialized pro-resolving mediator (SPM) analytical methods.

There is a critical need for basic research on analytical methods used for specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs). SPMs are a family of lipid metabolites derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that promote the resolution of inflammation and have been detected in several experimental models and human conditions. However, researchers using mass spectrometry-based methods have been in conflict with each other, and do not agree on how much, if any, SPMs are present in biologically relevant contexts. Hence, continued research on SPM analytical methods is necessary for this field to move forward.

CABRI is offering research grants in amounts up to $100,000 to support this need. We encourage anyone seeking to provide clarity to SPM analytical methods to apply for these research grants.

Research proposal applications may be submitted on the CABRI website at www.cabrimed.org/research-grant. These applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
