Funding Opportunities

ITHS Funding

The ITHS offers three pilot awards annually:

  • Interdisciplinary Solution Development (IDSD) awards, for an interdisciplinary partnership or team adapting processes and methods outside the health sciences to accelerate clinical and translational science improvements ($25,000 in total costs for one year).
  • Community-Academic Partnership (CAP) awards, to jumpstart partnerships between community and academic investigators in new projects that generate and implement healthcare evidence in impacted communities ($50,000 in total costs for one year).
  • New Translational Science Tools and Methodologies (NTSTM) awards to develop computational, biochemical, biological, or engineering-based tools and technologies to advance development of new therapies and treatment approaches that can be generalized across the translational science spectrum ($50,000 in total costs for one year).

ITHS does not expect that these awards will support a complete project from initial concept to publication of results. The amount of funding and the term of the award are intended primarily to support pilot work that will generate initial data or results demonstrating the feasibility and merits of a larger project that could be continued subsequently under other mechanisms of support.  The links below provide details regarding IDSD, CAP and NTSTM awards and the application process.

ITHS funding opportunities are open to all eligible persons regardless of race, sex or other identity.

UW ARPA-H Committee

The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) is a federal funding agency that supports the development of high-impact research to drive biomedical and health breakthroughs to deliver transformative, sustainable, and equitable health solutions for everyone. ARPA-H’s mission focuses on leveraging research advances for real world impact. ITHS is facilitating the UW ARPA-H Committee, a visioning committee to help research leaders develop strategy and direction related to the new agency.

Visit our UW ARPA-H Committee page to learn more about how we can support the development of your ARPA-H research proposal.

At the ITHS central hub for National Institutes of Health (NIH) Diversity Supplements, you will find information about diversity supplements and their eligibility requirements, as well as links to partners with grants eligible for diversity supplements.

We encourage program directors/primary investigators and potential diversity supplement candidates to explore this page and those of all three institutions to learn more about these valuable funding opportunities.
