Translational Science Pilot Funding

Penn State CTSI is the home of the National Institutes of Health Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) at Penn State University. One of the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) goals is “More Treatments for All People More Quickly.” Achieving this goal is made possible through translational science.

As such, the Translational Science Pilot Funding mechanism seeks to fund translational science pilot projects supporting scientific and operational innovations to overcome longstanding barriers to translational research. The goal of these projects is to develop new and creative ways to conduct translational research or overcome common challenges that slow progress, helping make the research process more efficient and successful.
