New Funding Opportunity for Collaboration - Duke/UNC CTSA Translational Pilot Grants - Request for Applications

This T1/T2 pilot program is designed to encourage and facilitate novel clinical and translational research that applies or accelerates discovery into testing in clinical or population settings. Cross-disciplinary basic research addressing the development of therapies, diagnostics or devices applicable to human disease and clinical research/trials are areas of interest for these awards. Projects must demonstrate high translational potential with a clear path to subsequent grant support, new company formation, licensing, not-for-profit partnering, or other channels.

Proposed projects must involve both a lead investigator from Duke and a lead investigator from UNC-CH. Applicants at each institution must have a full-time faculty appointment. Proposals are encouraged from new teams of investigators from different disciplines.

The research activities at each participating institution will be funded by that institution’s CTSA. DTMI and NC TraCS will each fund up to $25,000 direct costs, for a total of $50,000 per collaborative project.

Proposals are due on October 31, 2014 and the budget period is for 12 months beginning between January 1 - May 1, 2015 and ending no later than April 30, 2016. Proposals are submitted via the DTMI Foundant online system – please see the “Guidelines” for more information.
