NEW Keystone GrantsView 2022 AwardeesDescription of AwardThe purpose of the Histochemical Society’s Keystone Grant is to encourage interest among postdoctoral and clinical fellows in visual techniques that provide biochemical and molecular information about the structure and function of cells, tissues and organs. This grant will provide funds to assist these scientists in conducting research involving immunohistochemistry or histochemical techniques and in situ hybridization. The 2022 grant amount is $4,000 and should be used for direct costs only. Award recipients will be given approximately one year to perform the research. Grant recipients will be required to report their findings to The Histochemical Society Education Committee upon the completion of the project. Recipients will also be required to submit an abstract for presentation at the Histochemical Society’s Annual Meeting or another major scientific conference and are encouraged to apply to the HCS Travel Awards to aid in attendance. Applicant Requirements Applicants must be postdoctoral fellow or graduate medical trainees (clinical fellows), including combined degree program graduates (residents or fellows) or equivalent research training program (i.e. supporting post-doctoral students). Prior possible degrees for applicants include but are not limited to PhD, MD/PhD, DVM/PhD, DDS/PhD, MD/MS or equivalent level of research experience. MD only graduates should apply for the Cornerstone Grant. All awardees must be members of the Histochemical Society before funds will be disbursed. Evaluation Applications will be evaluated on the effective and correct use of visual techniques such as immunohistochemistry and other histochemical techniques as well as the extent to which completion of the project requires these methods. Likelihood of successful completion of the project (based on availability of appropriate laboratory space, equipment, and institutional support) and significance of the question being addressed will also be considered. Basic, applied, and translational or clinical research proposals are eligible.
