NC TraCS is interested in promoting inter-institutional collaborations across the CTSA Consortium of over 60 institutions.

The goal of this RFA is to fund innovative translational research projects that involve investigators at 2 or more CTSA institutions. Please note that although the UNC CTSA accepts applications at any time, other CTSAs differ in how much they can support this program. Investigators interested in this opportunity should consult with This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. prior to submitting a "CTSA Multi-Institutional Pilot Grants Preliminary Request for Approval".

Budget requests should range from $10,000 - $25,000 direct cost per CTSA (no indirects) with each CTSA contributing an equal amount. Funds cannot be transferred between institutions; therefore, funds will be spent at the CTSA that contributes them.

Note that NC TraCS has a separate annual opportunity for Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill collaborators to submit pilot grant applications; therefore, a proposal with just Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill investigators cannot apply through this mechanism.
