Apply now: CCTS Partner Network Pilot Program

CCTS Partner Network
Clinical and basic sciences faculty at the USA College of Medicine are invited to apply for the Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) Partner Network Pilot Program. 

This program seeks to ameliorate health conditions that disproportionately affect our region as represented by the CCTS Partner Network, and to develop the future translational research workforce by fostering collaboration, team science and innovative discovery.

Proposals should be set in the context of health conditions that disproportionately affect our region. Research plans may lie at any point along the translational science spectrum – from biological basis of health or disease to interventions aimed at improving the health of our community.

The program supports early-stage investigators from any of the CCTS Partner Network institutions. Established researchers may be considered with justification of how the proposal represents a major shift in experimental approach or a new, collaborative project involving two or more partner sites.

Applicants may request up to $60,000 (direct) with expectations of co-sponsorship (see full RFA for details). Pre-applications are due Oct. 25 by 5 p.m.


For additional information, contact Mark Gillespie, Ph.D., professor and chair of pharmacology, at (251) 460-6497 or mgillesp@southalabama.edu.
