What is this offering?
The Clinical and Translational Science Pilot Award aims to support new and innovative research projects relevant to clinical & translational science (CTS). CTS is a field of investigation focused on understanding a scientific or operational principle that underlies a step of the translational process, with the goal of developing generalizable principles to accelerate translational research. We encourage applications that propose addressing a common cause of inefficiency or failure in research projects at any stage of translation, with the goal of producing foundational knowledge that will ultimately improve health.
