2018 Archer Research Challenge Grant

Abstract submission deadlines for AMP and ASH are months away, but now is the time to plan. Perhaps you have a partially developed story and just need that last piece of data. Or maybe you've had an idea rolling around in your head with no resources to test it.

Archer® Research Challenge Grants enable researchers to address clinically relevant and challenging questions in environments where funding for clinical research is limited. These grants provide the kits, software and support to test your hypothesis or demonstrate a novel next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based application.
