AB Nexus

We are pleased to announce the 2025 cycle of the AB Nexus Research Collaboration Grant Program, which is designed to strengthen research collaborations and forge new research opportunities between the CU Anschutz and CU Boulder campuses.

New Mechanisms: 
This cycle, we invite proposals to the following funding mechanisms: 
  • Exploratory/Broad Announcement ($75k, 18 months) - Seeks proposals from teams that have not previously collaborated but have identified a path for integrated, joint work to study unique research concepts. There are no biomedical topic limitations, and proposals are encouraged to explore areas of growth in the research community.
  • Special Topic Announcement – Quantum and Human Health ($350K, 24 months) -  Seeks proposals from both new and established collaborative teams to drive innovation in federally prioritized research areas. Proposals must focus on quantum science applications in medical research and healthcare. Projects outside this topic will be considered non-responsive and withdrawn.
Key Dates:
  • Proposals due: April 1, 2025
  • Notifications of Award: mid-June
  • Project Start Date: July 1, 2025
For full program information, including eligibility criteria and submission requirements for both mechanisms, visit the AB Nexus webpage.
