Funding Opportunity: TraCS announces Innovation to Impact Awards
NC TraCS exists in part to support the development of innovative solutions to scientific and operational roadblocks in translational research. In order to speed up the discovery and implementation of effective treatments for all people, our new Clinical & Translational Science (CTS) Research Program supports cutting-edge translational science research that addresses challenges along the translational research pipeline.
The CTS Research Program's Innovation to Impact Awards will fund investigators and their teams to implement translational science research projects to:
- Enhance translational research effectiveness and efficiency with hypothesis-driven CTS
- Integrate CTS with clinical and translational research
- Address critical CTS questions with potential for rapid implementation at UNC Health and beyond
Request for Applications
Proposals must focus on developing innovative methods or approaches that enhance the translational research process while also addressing a specific disease or condition.
Key information:
- $125,000-$250,000 per year in direct costs over a period of 2-3 years (max 3 years)
- Collaboration with NC TraCS resources and services is strongly encouraged
