<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">We are always excited to bring ISL affiliated together for collaborative grant opportunities. If you have promising funding opportunities to share, we would be more than happy to help with the
teaming and development of the grants. Last fall, with the help of Office of Research Development, we submitted a letter of intent to the ARPA-H CATALYST program with many of you on the team. Even though we were not invited to submit the full proposal, it
was a great experience learning about each other’s work and I’m hopeful it will lead to potential opportunities in the future.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">Thank you for your continued engagement and contributions to ISL. I look forward to working together on these exciting initiatives in the coming months. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you
have any questions or ideas to share.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">Wishing you a productive and rewarding start to the year!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
