Description
The fiscal year 2026 (FY26) Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Research Program (TSCRP) Clinical Translational Research Award (CTRA) supports studies that will move promising, well-founded preclinical and/or clinical research findings closer to clinical application, including diagnosis, prognosis or treatment of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). This funding mechanism allows for multiple Principal Investigators (PIs), with only the initiating PI submitting a pre-application, but all PIs required to submit full applications. The partnering PI(s) application is an abbreviated package specific to their distinct portion of the research project. The Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) expects to allot roughly $3.5 million to fund approximately two Clinical Translational Research Award applications with total cost caps of $1.60M for single PI applications and $1.90M for partnering PI applications. The maximum period of performance is 3 years.
