JAX Nathan Shock Center Pilot Project Awards
The JAX Nathan Shock Center is accepting applications for Pilot Research Projects in the basic biology of aging utilizing aged male and female C57BL6/J and UM-HET3 mice (6-24 months of age). The projects will be carried out by highly trained Shock Center Research Assistants skilled in aged mouse phenotyping techniques.
The JAX Nathan Shock Center strongly encourages applications from outside the Jackson Laboratory and from junior faculty. Postdoctoral fellows cannot serve as Principal Investigators for pilot projects but can apply with faculty sponsors.
Applications are due by January 31, 2026. Prior consultation with the Director of the Development Core, Ron Korstanje (ron.korstanje@jax.org), is strongly advised.
