New Funding Opportunity – CCTS 2019 Pilot Research Grant

The Ohio State University Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) is inviting applications for Pilot Research Grants which align with our 6th Annual CCTS Scientific Meeting titled, “Teaming Up on Science for a Healthier Ohio”.

The Pilot Translational and Clinical Studies Program of the CCTS is releasing this RFA specially to align with the 2017-2019 State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP), a strategic menu of priorities, outcome objectives and evidence-based strategies designed to address three of Ohio’s greatest health challenges and priority topics:

1) Mental health and addiction,

2) Chronic disease and

3) Maternal and infant health.

The CCTS invites novel proposals of pilot clinical and translational studies by multidisciplinary teams to address any of the three health priorities of Ohio. Closing Ohio’s health gaps will require comprehensive, multidisciplinary or team science approaches that may involve public- and private sector stakeholder collaboration. With the Teaming Up on Science for a Healthier Ohio Pilot Grant, the CCTS will fund meritorious scientific projects that aim to close Ohio’s troubling health gaps and ensure that every Ohioan has the same opportunity for a healthy life. Budgets up to $25,000 will be considered. All pilot projects must be completed within one year and lead to new knowledge to enhance human health and behavior, lengthen life, and reduce illness, disability and health disparities in the State of Ohio.

New Funding Opportunity – CCTS 2019 Pilot Research Grant

The Ohio State University Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) is inviting applications for Pilot Research Grants which align with our 6th Annual CCTS Scientific Meeting titled, “Teaming Up on Science for a Healthier Ohio”.

The Pilot Translational and Clinical Studies Program of the CCTS is releasing this RFA specially to align with the 2017-2019 State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP), a strategic menu of priorities, outcome objectives and evidence-based strategies designed to address three of Ohio’s greatest health challenges and priority topics:

1) Mental health and addiction,

2) Chronic disease and

3) Maternal and infant health.

The CCTS invites novel proposals of pilot clinical and translational studies by multidisciplinary teams to address any of the three health priorities of Ohio. Closing Ohio’s health gaps will require comprehensive, multidisciplinary or team science approaches that may involve public- and private sector stakeholder collaboration. With the Teaming Up on Science for a Healthier Ohio Pilot Grant, the CCTS will fund meritorious scientific projects that aim to close Ohio’s troubling health gaps and ensure that every Ohioan has the same opportunity for a healthy life. Budgets up to $25,000 will be considered. All pilot projects must be completed within one year and lead to new knowledge to enhance human health and behavior, lengthen life, and reduce illness, disability and health disparities in the State of Ohio.
