Single Cell Grant - Apply Now
Submission Deadline Passed:
February 20 - 11:59 PM AEST
Understanding single-cell biology at the whole-transcriptome level is critical for mechanistic insight in cancer and complex biology. Generating robust proof-of-concept data ahead of a grant cycle or biotech pitch can be the difference between progress and delay.
Decode Science, in partnership with Parse Biosciences, is offering a Parse Single-Cell Grant to support researchers across Australia and New Zealand.
What the Grant Supports
Successful applicants will receive support to assay up to 100,000 single cells across 12 samples, including sequencing.
Parse Biosciences’ Evercode™ technology enables scalable single‑cell RNA sequencing with high transcript capture—without specialised hardware—making it suitable for both new and established single‑cell labs.
What's Included
Parse Evercode™ WT single‑cell kit (up to 100,000 cells) & one cell or nuclei fixation kit for up to 12 samples
Sequencing included
20,000 reads per cell
Sequencing costs covered by Decode Science and SAGC
Application and experimental feasibility review by Parse Application Support
