Overview
Translational research seeks to turn biomedical research discoveries into health solutions through the application of translational science. These solutions include efficacious diagnostics, treatments, and interventions.
The ICTR Translational Basic & Clinical Research (TBCR) Pilot Award supports:
- Clinical research projects that define and develop novel clinical interventions, OR
- Translational aspects of research incorporated into an investigator-initiated project, OR
- Projects that address contemporary and/or emerging health crises
Proposals must include an interdisciplinary partnership between two Co-PIs.
ICTR Pilot Awards are intended to support projects that will further an investigator’s career path. Successful proposals will clearly describe how pilot data collected as a part of this award will be used to seek further extramural funding in support of a research-career trajectory. Early career investigators with limited PI experience are strongly encouraged to submit proposals as the Contact PI, in partnership with senior investigators who have relevant research methods expertise to serve as Co-Investigators, collaborators and/or mentors.
