Now accepting Translational Science Pilot Funding applications, view the slides from the Information Session on Oct. 16!

CTSI invites pre-applications for the Translational Science Pilot Funding Program which seeks to support innovative projects that have the potential to scale to larger translational science initiatives with the CTSI. From among these pre-applications, the CTSI will invite selected finalists to engage in a collaborative process that seeks to develop, refine, and strengthen proposed projects in translational science resulting in up to three (3) 12-month awards of $75,000. Apply by Nov. 1. 

The Information Session on Oct. 16 is now available to view the slides and recording.
 
The CTSI expects to include in its 2026 grant renewal application one or two translational science projects with funding of $125,000 to $250,000 per year for up to three years.
