Description
The Translational Research Award (TRA) aims to accelerate the conversion of scientific findings into impactful clinical applications, prioritizing innovative approaches over incremental research. Basic research and clinical trials are prohibited, and preliminary data are required. The award supports two research levels: Level 1 for refining mature ideas into tangible products, and Level 2 for rigorous evaluation in preparation for first-in-human studies or clinical trials. An Early-Career Investigator Partnering Option is available, allowing two Principal Investigators to receive separate awards if funded.
