THRIVING

February 2025

The iTHRIV Clinical and Translational Science (CTS) Pilot Studies Program

​The iTHRIV Pilot Studies Program announces $200,000 in available funding to support innovative approaches to translational science projects (TS), and to foster research collaborations 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. Translational research (TR) projects solely focused on a particular target or disease are not allowed. Please see this Learning Short video and this brief video to learn more about translational science.

 

An information session about the iTHRIV CTS Pilot Studies program and the proposal submission process will occur on April 8, 2025 at noon EST on Zoom: Click here to register in advance for this session. All applicants are strongly encouraged to attend this session.

​​

In addition, in order to help research teams prepare competitive applications, iTHRIV will host four optional workshops to provide feedback on whether proposed projects align with the translational science (TS) framework, and to offer suggestions for better alignment. The workshops are scheduled for 2/18/2025, 3/18/2025, 4/1/2025, or 4/15/2025. They are all virtual.  REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED!​ Click here to register in advance.  All applicants for the iTHRIV CTS Pilot Studies Program are strongly encouraged to attend whether or not they are seeking feedback on their project proposals. Understanding translational science concepts vs. translational research will be paramount to submitting a well formulated proposal. For more information about the workshops, contact the iTHRIV CTS Program Manager, Medard Ng at htn3u@uvahealth.org.

 

The application period for the CTS Pilot Studies Program is expected to be open in late March/ early April of 2025 (contingent on availability of NIH funding). Applicants can request up to $50,000 in funding. Projects are required to be completed within one year. For more detailed information and access to all required forms please review the full funding opportunity announcement.

 

The CTS Pilot Studies Program Director, Dr. Antonio Abbate (Antonio.abbate@virginia.edu) is available for consultation. For additional questions, please contact iTHRIV:  iTHRIVAdmin@uvahealth.org.
