Building Bridges Award for Creating Research Partnerships
The DLMP is pleased to announce the 6th annual request for applications for the Building Bridges Award (BBA) for Creating Research Partnerships. The BBA has an expanded scope of allowable Bridges – any new bridge is qualified:
- A junior faculty member working with a senior faculty member
- Basic science and clinical science
- Faculty members who have not worked together on a funded project before
The DLMP will support projects that facilitate partnerships between at least two DLMP faculty members (examples provided in attachment). Applications should show promise for obtaining follow-on funding from the NIH, a foundation, or an equivalent funding source. The maximum budget for each project is $20,000.
Eligibility: Faculty of any type with primary appointment in the DLMP. Applications will be accepted if only one co-applicant has a primary appointment and the second has an adjunct appointment, but the application should emphasize the benefit to the primary faculty member. Depending on the number of applications received, such applications may be prioritized secondarily to applications where both faculty members have primary appointments in the DLMP.

Dr. Zsolt Argenyi Research Award
The Dr. Zsolt Argenyi research award in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology includes funds donated by Professor Emeritus Zsolt Argenyi MD, who retired June 2023 after a long career at the University of Washington. Dr. Argenyi had a lifelong passion for encouraging meaningful investigative work by trainees and supporting careers in academics.
Awards made from this fund are intended to enable residents in their early years of training to pursue dermatopathology related research to facilitate careers in academic dermatopathology. The award recipient will receive a monetary award and/or professional development funds (which may vary in a given year) up to a maximum of $10,000.
Eligibility: Current DLMP resident trainees (MD/DO). The topic of the intended research should be focused on dermatopathology or disciplines with relevance to dermatopathology such as oral pathology, gynecopathology, soft tissue pathology, or other relevant disciplines.
