ITHS Translational Science Request for Ideas
The Institute of Translational Science (ITHS) is putting out a Request for Ideas for high impact translational science projects that address unmet needs or generate innovation in the Pacific Northwest. Major points of emphasis include unique strengths or challenges in the Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho (WWAMI) region, and a focus on translational science, not strictly translational research.
Selected project will be included in UM1 grant submission in 2025, receiving potential direct costs between $125,000 – $500,000 per year for 2-3 years.
From NCATS: Research projects should not only address a translational research question in a particular disease or intervention development/dissemination context, but also provide generalizable clinical & translational science innovations or insights that can be applied to other translational research projects and thereby increase the overall efficiency or effectiveness of translation. Please review the NCATS Translational Science Principles for more details.
Process Timeline
- One page concepts to be submitted for review by ITHS leadership by February 21, 2024
- Up to 10 submissions will be invited to present at Steering Committee from March to May
- 3–5 ideas will be chosen for development into fuller projects (including Aims, Collaborations, Budgets, Future Plans)
- Full projects to be presented to Steering Committee in May
- Projects will also be presented to the ITHS External Advisory Board in June
