THRIVING

April 2025

 iTHRIV Clinical Translational Science (CTS) Pilot Studies Program Update

The planned 2025 iTHRIV Clinical Translational Science (CTS) Pilot Studies Program seeks to support innovative approaches to translational science projects (TS), and to foster collaboration across iTHRIV institutions. TS projects seek to understand the scientific and operational principles underlying the translational process. TS is focused on the general case that applies to any target or disease (see examples of TS projects here).

 

During this dynamic period of time for federal funding, please note the updates to the iTHRIV CTS Pilot Studies Program.

  1. Planning Workshops: With ongoing requests for additional opportunities to craft strong CTS proposals, we have scheduled an additional translational science (TS) ideas workshop on May 13th. The workshop provides researchers a valuable opportunity to receive feedback on whether their projects align with the TS framework. All applicants for the CTS Pilot Studies Program are strongly encouraged to attend at least one of the workshops: (https://redcapsurvey.healthsystem.virginia.edu/surveys/?s=HJLAL3LM3XDY7JNE) .

  2. Updated Timelines: The timelines of the CTS Pilot Studies Program have been updated. The application period for the program is expected to begin in late May/early June 2025.

  3. Information Session: The information session for the CTS Pilot Studies Program is being rescheduled. The date for this session will be announced in the future. Researchers who had previously registered for the April 8 session will be automatically registered for the new session.

 

The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) supports a national network of institutions to speed the translation of research discoveries into improved care: bringing more treatments to all people more quickly. This work is supported through the national Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program. There is a growing emphasis on the “translational science” aspect of the CTSA program and future CTSA pilot grants offered through the program will support projects in this area.
