The UK CCTS is funded through a Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) offered by the National Center for the Advancement of Transitional Science (NCATS).  NCATS' mission is to advance the science of translation, with the goal of accelerating the process of turning observations into real world interventions as well as to breaking down barriers to translational research.  

As part of the new CTSA Funding Opportunity Announcement [PAR -21- 293], NCATS has introduced several different types of grant awards.  It is anticipated that the overall CTSA application, when submitted in late 2025, will include several different types of translational science projects.  This pilot award is intended to help with team building, obtaining preliminary data and other activities that will make the CCTS' 2025 submission competitive. 
 
This pilot award is expected to be a 12-month project period and $50,000 in direct costs.  A second year of equal funding will be available for projects that demonstrate sufficient progress.
 

Letters of intent due Jan. 17, 2024.
