'The Centre for Human Specific Research is an organisation established to support the acceleration of new treatments for human diseases through the adoption of human-specific research. The Centre aims to address the fundamental challenges that hinder the advancement of human-specific research by creating greater awareness, providing education, supplying funding, and fostering collaboration. The Centre offers a range of tailored products and services, designed to assist and support research communities from across both academia and industry.'
The Centre for Human Specific Research is awarding pilot and transition grants to accelerate the development and wider adoption of human-specific research:
- Pilot Grants aim to support scientists in exploring innovative, human-specific research methods, facilitating pilot data collection to support future funding applications.
- Transition Grants aim to support scientists in transitioning from animal research and the use of animal-derived biomaterials to animal-free, human-specific methods.
Grant Preferred Research Focus Areas:
- Cancer
- Cardiovascular disease
- Neurodegenerative disease
- Toxicology
Projects outside of these areas will also be considered.
Relevant human-specific approaches may include in vitro assays such as 2D cell culture, organ-on-chip models, organoids, or spheroids; ex vivo tissue models; omics technologies; or in silico analysis.
