PROJECT INVESTIGATORS

The Center of Research Excellence in Natural Products Neuroscience (CORE-NPN) supports a formal mentoring program to promote the establishment of independent research programs for junior investigators. All investigators receive bridge funding ($100,000-$150,000 per year) to support their research. The investigators are required to submit a competitive R01 grant application to NIH within two years of receiving support through this program. 

Other former Project Investigators can be found under the link shown above.

The Investigators in Phase 2 are listed below, under 4 projects.
