Each year IMOD issues a call for Seed awards. The goal is to bring in new investigators and collaborations with existing members of the IMOD community to foster vibrant new ideas and approaches in what we are investigating and how we are doing science. In August 2024 we announced the new seed awards for Year 4, which are a mixture of new investigators and continuations from previous years.
