KIRI-Fellow postdoc project grants with an interdisciplinary focus
The purpose of the call is to support groundbreaking interdisciplinary research based on the collaboration between KIRI Fellows. The grant will fund the salary for a postdoctoral fellow for 2 years in a collaborative project that includes two or more KIRI Fellows. Projects were evaluated based on their interdisciplinary nature and collaborative potential, including integration of unique competencies, technologies, and methods from two or more KIRI Fellows.
