One of CADRE's primary aims is to provide research funding and career development for early-stage investigators (ESIs), and in doing so, facilitate their transition to research independence through external funding.

In Phase II, we continue to support early stage investigators in conducting innovative, interdisciplinary research that is thematically and technically linked. In doing so, the CADRE not only contributes to new scientific knowledge, but also prepares the next generation of scientists for independent careers.
