• Early-Stage Product Development Award: Up to $100k to support clinically relevant research discoveries towards the development of commercial products that improve human health. Projects should demonstrate or strengthen critical evidence that the envisioned product accomplishes its health-related purpose with respect to safety, efficacy, scalability, feasibility or clinical utility (i.e., proof of concept).
• Academic Community Partnerships Award: Up to $50k to jump-start partnerships between academic and community investigators in new projects that investigate a community-based health problem or disseminate evidence-based health innovations into practice. We especially encourage applications for projects that test interventions or innovations to improve health in community clinical settings.
• New Interdisciplinary Academic Partnerships Award: Up to $50k to facilitate new partnerships between academic investigators who have not previously received joint research funding for interdisciplinary projects addressing critical translational research challenges in innovative ways.
