The 2020/2021 CTSI Pilot Awards are now open, with two separate RFAs: Basic/Translational Science and Clinical/Population Health Science. Successful pilots will received up to $40,000 in direct costs. For questions, please contact Brittney Jackson at britjack@wakehealth.edu.
The CTSI Pilot Awards support high impact pilot projects that help catalyze translation of discoveries to treatments or the delivery of care. The ultimate aim of this program is to make research investments that maximize healthcare value and improve health. The immediate aim 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. Consistent with NCATS missions, project should help catalyze translation of discoveries to treatments or the delivery of care.

$10K Informatics Award |
| Note that the Center for Biomedical Informatics (WFBMI) is offering a $10,000 bonus for one of the pilot awards if the proposed project involves informatics researchers, techniques and methods. This bonus will be awarded to one pilot proposal evaluated as meritorious by CTSI Administrators and the IRSC and additional review by the leadership of the Wake Forest Center for Biomedical Informatics (the resulting pilot award will be in the amount of up to $50,000). |
