Pre-Announcement - Calls for Digital Personalized Medicine 
 
The Council for Higher Education has publicized their intention to launch a new research grant program in the field of Personalized Medicine.
The focus of the program will include support for basic academic research, including a new understanding of disease mechanisms and novel approaches to diagnosis and treatment.

It is expected that academic researchers from a wide range of fields (biology, engineering, computer science, medicine) will cooperate with physicians in hospitals and medical institutions in Israel.
 
The Call has not yet been published but, in order to give BGU researchers a head start, the RDA is publicizing this up-coming opportunity now.
We ask all researchers to whom this topic might be relevant to inform the RDA via email of their interest.
 
More details will be provided when available.
