Description

The Translational Research Award (TRA) aims to accelerate the conversion of scientific findings into impactful clinical applications, prioritizing innovative approaches over incremental research. It prohibits basic research and clinical trials, requiring preliminary data and relevance to human clinical conditions for animal research. The award supports two research levels: refinement of mature ideas and rigorous evaluation in preparation for clinical trials. An Early-Career Investigator Partnering Option is available, allowing two principal investigators to receive separate awards if funded.
