Life Sciences Discovery Fund:
The request for proposals for LSDF 08-02, on February 27, 2008.
According to the LSDF RFP - “Programs” are strategic research initiatives, broader in scope, designed to address problems within a field of study and to position an organization or organizations for future competitiveness and leadership. The purpose of this funding opportunity is to foster the growth of innovative new programs that will help Washington research organizations advance their strategic priorities in health and health-care research. It is expected that the programs funded by LSDF will be characterized by a dynamism and synergy among participating researchers that would not exist but for the organization of their efforts into the program. LSDF 08-02 funded programs will be expected to advance the core goals of LSDF: to promote life sciences competitiveness in Washington, benefit the state’s economy and improve health and health care for its citizens. The RFP is now available on the LSDF website www.lsdfa.org.
