UAB-McMaster Joint Pilot Grant Program

The partnership between The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and McMaster University (McMaster) was established to enhance the relationship between the two institutions through the promotion and development of collaborative research programs, academic and cultural exchange programs, and other cooperative activities.

The goal of the UAB-McMaster Joint Pilot Project mechanism is to catalyze innovation in any mission area that involves collaboration between investigators at UAB and McMaster University addressing a major health problem. Projects are encouraged to include transdisciplinary collaborations and seek co-funding (other institutes, centers, and/or Departments and Divisions). These projects are useful to generate preliminary data for larger projects, support promising investigators, and/or build capacity to improve outcomes over the long term.
