The Center for Clinical and Translational Science<\/a> believes health research should raise people\u2019s overall well-being in Chicago and beyond. We help UIC researchers bring health breakthroughs into the world faster.<\/p>\n

The Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) announces the availability of pilot grant funding for research development<\/strong>. These pilot grant awards will be for one-year<\/strong>, up to $30,000, with funding starting in June 1st, 2024.<\/p>\n

The goals of the CCTS Pilot Grant Program are:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 To foster outstanding new clinical and translational research<\/strong> at UIC that supports research development to address urgent questions or to develop preliminary data that can be used to launch new NIH or other externally-funded research proposals
\n\u00b7 To encourage interdisciplinary teams<\/strong> of investigators that span across Colleges and campus to develop collaborations or new research avenues
\n\u00b7 To promote interactions between basic, clinical, community, and social scientists<\/strong>
\n\u00b7 To support research collaborations with community partners and organizations<\/strong>
\n\u00b7 To advance health equity<\/strong> through research<\/p>\n

The expectation<\/strong> at the end of the 12-month grant cycle is that awardees will have generated preliminary data, or data that helps respond to prior submitted proposal critiques, that will be used in an external (e.g., NIH) grant proposal.<\/p>\n

We will consider a range of potential research ideas across the full translational spectrum. Pilot funding proposal ideas include but are not limited to:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Proof of principle studies for new methodologies
\n\u00b7 Feasibility studies for participant recruitment
\n\u00b7 Measurement validation studies
\n\u00b7 Pilot intervention studies to inform sample size and power estimation
\n\u00b7 Establishment of collaborative community partnerships
\n\u00b7 Development of new technologies to address a research problem
\n\u00b7 Improvements in biomedical informatics architecture and\/or delivery of services
\n\u00b7 New methods for structuring or analyzing data sets
\n\u00b7 Development of research addressing child health<\/p>\n

PI Eligibility<\/strong>
\nPrincipal Investigators must be clinical, research, or tenure track UIC faculty or Senior Scientists at UIC. Although adjunct faculty cannot serve as PIs, they may serve as named investigators, collaborators, or key personnel. Post-doctoral fellows may also serve as key personnel but cannot be PIs.<\/p>\n

Application Process<\/strong>
\nThe grant application process is divided into two phases: the Letter of Intent and Full Application phases. Letters of intent are required and will be reviewed. Only applicants who have submitted a letter of intent and who are invited to apply for the full pilot or planning grant will be eligible.
