Overview
The ICTS Translational Science Pilot Studies Award Program offers one-year awards to provide investigators with support to engage in proof-of-concept or preliminary research that addresses a common roadblock or bottleneck in translational research. Projects are expected to inform a subsequent application for extramural funding to extend the findings, which should be generalizable across multiple diseases and lead to improved efficiency or effectiveness of future translational research.
These are reviewed by reviewers both internal and external to UCI, and by community reviewers. Projects that are selected are supported by the Research Acceleration and Facilitation Team (RAFT), which provides post award support during the year of funding.
Applications are currently under review for the 2026 Pilot Award Cycle.
