Purpose and Approaches
The CTSI Translational Pilot Program’s aims are to fund pilot or investigational research in areas most important to health systems and clinicians based on the needs of their patients; prepare investigators to successfully seek additional grant funding to work in these important topics; and to contribute to the body of work in translational science.
While study approaches will vary, the CTSI Translational Pilot Program is particularly interested in approaches that utilize comparative effectiveness research, pragmatic clinical trials and implementation science. Applicants must provide evidence of stakeholder engagement in the selection of the topic and formulation of the specific aims.
Focus
Proposals can be submitted on any topic, but preference will be given to research questions that address priority topics identified by the National Academy of Medicine and UF CTSI and OneFlorida stakeholders. Please see the RFA linked below for complete details.
Eligibility
The project PI must be a full-time faculty member at UF. Applicants are encouraged to assemble a multidisciplinary study team that includes practicing clinicians and/or patients.
