The Center for Addiction Research (CFAR) is seeking proposals for pilot studies involving meaningful collaboration between faculty focused on basic, clinical, or population-based research in substance use disorders. Specifically, collaboration between a basic science and a clinical investigator, a clinical investigator and a population science investigator, or a basic science and a population science investigator. The two major goals of this pilot RFA are to expand collaborations and to make research investments that maximize healthcare value and improve health.
The immediate aim for these pilot funds is to allow investigators to develop, test, or disseminate novel approaches to a translational research question and obtain preliminary data in support of larger follow-up investigations. Examples of pilot studies include feasibility studies, secondary analysis of existing data, development of new research methodology and/or new tools, dissemination of effective tools, methods, processes, or early development of new therapy/technology. Priority will be given to junior faculty and investigators who envision using the pilot data for future extramural funding.
Additional details are available in the RFA. Applications should be submitted through the ePilot electronic submission system.
Questions about the ePilot electronic submission system should be directed to Katelyn Still at kastill@wakehealth.edu.
