Accelerating Clinical and Translational Science Research Through Collaboration and Innovation

(NCATS)

The NCATS CTSA Program supports team-based research to develop, demonstrate and disseminate innovations that can accelerate the translational research process to turn laboratory, clinic and community observations into interventions and benefit public health more quickly. The Collaborative and Innovative Acceleration Award aims to provide support to investigators to tackle a translational science problem no one organization can solve alone. The award supports synergistic activities that accelerate the translational research process through collaboration and innovation.

The notice of funding opportunity invites applications to develop, demonstrate and disseminate innovative solutions to transform the field of translational science by addressing the inefficiencies that are common across diseases and bringing more interventions to all people more quickly through collaborative science among the CTSA Program institutions; NIH institutes, centers, and offices; and/or external stakeholders.
