ADAI Small Grant Awards for March 2018 Cycle

ADAI funded six Small Grants in the March 2018 round of applications. The goal of the Small Grants Program is to stimulate research at the University of Washington by supporting promising pilot projects which may ultimately be developed into full studies with outside grant support. Three of the proposals in this round are focused on marijuana research and are supported by the Marijuana Dedicated Fund.

Congratulations to the recipients!
