- •3-5 year project duration
Tips for Applicants
- ✓CZI prioritises tools with clear pathway to adoption by the broader research community; emphasise accessibility and open-source or licensing strategy.
- ✓Live-tissue relevance is non-negotiable; proposals purely on fixed tissue or in silico methods are less competitive.
- ✓Include letters or partnerships from anticipated end-users (imaging cores, other research groups); social proof of utility strengthens technical proposals.
