The Translational Team Science Award (TTSA) is aimed at capitalizing on the "culture of collaboration" at UNC-Chapel Hill to foster new synergistic interdisciplinary teams of basic science and clinical investigators.

Proposals may include research using cellular and animal model systems; however, the project should clearly translate across basic and clinical disciplines.

Selected TTSA teams will receive a 12-month Phase I award (up to $50,000) to begin to fully engage team members in the project. For larger projects, an application for Phase II funding (12 months, up to $75,000) can be submitted for competitive review upon completion of Phase I.

TTSA awards are intended to provide planning time and initial funds for support of early stage de novo research teams that would otherwise not be possible. TTSA supported research should lead to submission of novel interdisciplinary program project grants and R01s by UNC SOM investigators.
