Hear from '22 SPARK winner Dr. Heather Callaway about how her project yielded exciting results that can inform the design of a better and longer-lasting rabies vaccine. Dr. Callaway explains how her SPARK project helped her land a position as Assistant Professor at Montana State University, beginning in August 2023, where she will establish her own lab and intends to publish a paper based on the data she collected from her SPARK project. Dr. Callaway's SPARK award was generously funded by the Rosemary Kraemer Raitt Foundation Trust.

The Tullie and Rickey Families SPARK Awards for Innovations in Immunology provides flexible start-up funding that enables LJI’s early career investigators to act on their promising projects for bold new approaches to diagnoses, treatments, and possibly even cures for diseases that afflict us today. It fills the gap between scientists’ imagination and that first solid set of data that allows them to attract additional funding to further their research and ultimately make life-saving discoveries. Each year, LJI receives dozens of proposals from its graduate students and postdoctoral scientists. A panel that includes Institute scientists, board members, and top business leaders reviews the proposals, selects the finalists, and has each of them present their projects in person. The finalists are then ranked in order to receive funding based on the total amount raised for the SPARK program each year from donor contributions. Each SPARK award provides $25,000 in funding that must be spent within eight months.
