STOmics Grant Program
Application deadline: 30th
of November 2022
Boost your spatial transcriptomics research to a new level!
BGI Research invites all scientists of the STOC community and
beyond to apply for our first-ever global STOmics Grant
Program. Through this grant, you will experience the
groundbreaking spatial transcriptomics technology
Stereo-seq (SpaTial Enhanced REsolution
Omics-Sequencing), which has recently driven multiple top publications in
Cell,
Developmental Cell,
and Science by
empowering scientists to perform spatially-resolved
single-cell omics research with unprecedented resolution and
scale.
Who is this grant program for?
The STOmics Grant Program is open to the global life sciences
community, and open to all life sciences research interests.
We want to learn about your scientific pursuits and how
Stereo-seq may further empower you to conduct high-impact
research, and we want to provide an opportunity to access
Stereo-seq through the Grant Program.
What do I get if I win a grant award?
Winning a grant award from the STOmics Grant Program will give
you free access to a generous supply of the STOmics Stereo-seq
library preparation consumables, free access to ample MGI
DNBSEQTM sequencing, and
free access to basic bioinformatics analyses through the
STOmics Stereo-seq Analysis Workflow (SAW) and the STOmics
Stereopy advanced analysis toolkit. With a grant award, you
will be empowered with Stereo-seq to produce the newest
discoveries to be incorporated in your next high-impact
publication.
Specifically, a grant award includes:
·
3 sets of STOmics Stereo-seq consumables
·
DNBSEQTM sequencing: 12
X 450 Gb of free sequencing services to be provided by
qualified laboratories, for a total of up to 5.4 Tb of data
·
STOmics SAW and Stereopy analysis: access to SAW and
Stereopy to help generate bioinformatics analysis result for
Stereo-seq experiments
·
STOmics standard technical support: access to STOmics FAS
and FBS support, customer services
What is the decision-making process for awarding the grants?
Applications will be carefully reviewed by the Grant
scientific panel, which will make grant award decisions at its
sole discretion. The applications will be evaluated in their
entirety and key selection criteria includes (but not limited
to): scientific impact, novelty, feasibility, applicability of
Stereo-seq to the research.
How will I know if I win a grant award?
You will be notified of our decision through the email address
you provided in your application materials on or before
31st December, 2022.
Note: The purpose of the Grant Program is to empower recipient
researchers to perform spatial transcriptomics experiments for
their own research. Nonetheless, it remains open to and
available for discussions with recipients who would like to
consider additional direct research collaboration beyond the
scope of this Grant Program.
All applicants to the Grant Program are subject to our
Terms and Conditions.
