CPOCT Research Grant

The POCT Research Grant will not be offered in 2022.

The Point-of-Care Testing Research Grant of $5,000 is intended to fund POCT outcome studies. This grant is dependent upon corporate support and therefore may not be awarded annually. This grant is targeted to clinical laboratorians who need limited research funds to explore new ideas in areas where funds are not normally available.

Applications are due by March 15 for projects starting after June 1 of the same year.
