Vanderbilt's H. Charles Manning, Ph.D., has received two stimulus grants from the National Cancer Institute to study imaging techniques in colorectal cancer.
The grants, totaling more than $1.6 million over two years, are part of the federal government's stimulus package funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
“We were honored to receive these awards,” said Manning, assistant professor of Radiology and Radiological Sciences, Neurosurgery, Biomedical Engineering, and Chemical and Physical Biology. “I am certain that our outstanding team, featuring strong cross-campus collaboration, gave us a competitive advantage among the many highly meritorious applications.”
The first award is a Challenge Grant which focuses on the broad area of biomarker discovery.
