Research & Pilots Program
PAC-AID’s science runs on three connected tracks: the shared Cores that support every investigator, the research projects led by early-career faculty, and the Pilot Projects Program that brings new investigators and ideas into the Center. This page is the directory — jump to a program below, or browse the Center’s growing publications, presentations, and grants.
