The Institute for Translational Sciences encourages researchers to submit pilot project proposals aimed at: developing new quantitative methodologies that can be applied to biomedical research or applying existing methods in novel ways to address translational research problems. Research areas of interest include biostatistics, epidemiology, and bioinformatics. An award of $20,000 is available to support an innovative pilot project.

A total of $75,000 is available to fund up to two inter-institutional pilot projects, ranging in size from $25,000-$75,000 each, that focus on developing technologies relevant to clinical or translational science.

Funding Opportunity (ITS 2022-1), Clinical and Translational Pilot Projects, up to two awards of $10,000 - $25,000 each are available to support investigator-initiated studies that have the potential to develop into clinical trials.
