Pilot Project Award Announcements

Part of the mission of the UCI Microbiome Initiative is to support new microbiome research on campus.

The Pilot Project Awards provide in-kind support to analyze microbiome samples. Microbiome Initiative staff will conduct sample preparation and molecular analysis of identified samples. Proposals were reviewed by an ad hoc review committee in consultation with the Faculty Advisory Board.
