The Center for Clinical and Translational Science is pleased to announce its newest cohort of Pilot Grant awardees. These one-year, seed-funded projects support innovative translational science research that addresses critical challenges across the research continuum while generating the preliminary data needed to compete for future external funding. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration among investigators and community partners, the Pilot Grant Program accelerates the development of solutions that make research more efficient, impactful, and responsive to pressing health needs.
