Clinical & Translational Pilot Awards

The NUCATS Clinical & Translational Pilot Awards initiative is seeking proposals for highly innovative, multidisciplinary clinical and translational research projects where the potential for strong clinical or translational impact on human health is clear. Proposals may also request funding for projects involving critical steps in the device and drug development pathway or for a need, while critical to translational science, that is too small to be suitable for conventional research funding mechanisms (e.g., biostatistics support for the development of preliminary data).

• Prioritized applicants: Junior faculty
• Maximum award amount: $30,000
• Application deadline: July 18 at 5 p.m. CST
