2025 Mayo Clinic-ASU seed grant recipients to probe Alzheimer’s, organ transplants and more | ASU News 2025 Mayo Clinic-ASU seed grant recipients to probe Alzheimer’s, organ transplants and more A newly funded Mayo Clinic-ASU seed grant project will work on developing an automated tool to improve the success of organ transplants.
Photo by Samantha Chow/Arizona State University Markers of early-stage Alzheimer’s disease can appear in scans of the retina long before clinical symptoms arise — how do we develop a noninvasive, scalable screening tool that supports earlier intervention and diagnosis with this information? Can using AI help enhance the precision and efficiency of organ transplants?
Can we develop more stable, cost-effective and precise vaccines to help the body fight off cancer? These are but a fraction of the questions being researched by the 11 grant team recipients of the 2025 Mayo Clinic and Arizona State University Alliance for Health Care Seed Grant Program. Through the program, ASU researchers and Mayo Clinic experts kick-start joint research projects and build a foundation to attract additional funding.
When awarding grants, the program considers projects that encompass the following factors: transforming the health care workforce, optimizing health and the human body, and establishing connected health care delivery and biomedical innovation. Among these key elements, the project should demonstrate meaningful collaboration between investigators at ASU and Mayo Clinic.
Hear from a few of the grant winners on how they plan to use this funding to transform health care in collaboration with their Mayo Clinic counterparts. Sui Yang , assistant professor at ASU's School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy, said: “This seed grant allows us to push the boundaries of medical imaging by transforming a simple endoscope into a powerful, high-resolution tool.
By harnessing cutting-edge metalens technology, we aim to make hidden signs of gastrointestinal disease visible earlier than ever before. "Early detection saves lives, and this support helps us move one step closer to a future where cancer and other pathologies are caught before they become life-threatening.
” More successful organ transplants Xiao Liu , assistant professor in ASU's Department of Information Systems, said: “Virtual crossmatching (VXM) is a critical piece of organ transplantation as it predicts which donor-recipient pairs have the highest success for compatibility and long-term graft survival. This grant allows us to develop an automated tool to improve the clinical performance of VXM.
"Our project will provide clinical decision support for compatibility assessment and long-term graft survival prediction, which can offload tedious manual record review, stabilize the workload, reduce stress and burnout among consultant staff, and ensure the timely delivery of VXM reports critical to the organ transplant program, while also reducing costs.
” Peter Sulc , associate professor at ASU's School of Molecular Sciences, said: "We will create a universal platform for rapid, personalized dendritic cell vaccines designed to safely activate powerful anti-tumor immunity in cancer patients."

NCI Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) Academic Career Excellence (ACE) Award (K32) is a grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) that funds early postdoctoral fellows from diverse backgrounds, including underrepresented groups, to pursue research training in cancer-related fields. The K32 award supports fellows within 12 months prior to transitioning into, or within the first two years of, a postdoctoral position. The program, operated through NCI's Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD), aims to enhance the pool of qualified diverse cancer researchers. Beginning with the June 12, 2025 due date, the CURE ACE Award is available in both Independent Clinical Trial Required and Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed versions. Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents at time of award.
Smart Health and Biomedical Research in the Era of Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Data Science (SCH) is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF) & National Institutes of Health (NIH).

A new Interior Department policy routes every grant and cooperative agreement of $50,000 or more through two political appointees for manual review. The result is a backlog of roughly 1,400 grants and $362 million in delayed funding — up from fewer than 10 two years ago. Here is how the bottleneck works, why it matters even for recipients who already have an award letter, and what nonprofits, universities, states, and tribes should do to protect projects that depend on Interior dollars.

AI Forge is a jointly governed, university-led venture funding interpretability, control, and adversarial robustness in one-year Project Ventures — here's how the 15 challenges, the CAISI tie, and the nonprofit administrator reshape who gets funded.
Read articleOMB's proposed rewrite of 2 CFR Part 200 would convert the Uniform Guidance from guidance into binding, force-of-law regulation — adding discretionary termination authority, mandatory political-appointee review before award, DEI and foreign-collaboration prohibitions, and the elimination of fixed-amount awards. The comment period closed with 496,769 submissions, roughly 95% opposed. The targeted effective date is October 1, 2026. This is a full breakdown of what changes, who is exposed, and the concrete moves nonprofits and universities should make in the next 75 days.
