WVCTSI is accepting Pilot Project Funding applications for clinical and translational research focusing on, but not limited to, specific health areas of importance to West Virginia and Appalachia at large. Of note, projects with significant laboratory-based components must have very clear delineation of the plan for translation of the research with impact on human health.
Limited funds are available from the WVCTSI Jumpstart Grants Program to support small, well-defined projects which will lead to measured outcomes, such as critical preliminary data for a larger grant submission. Funds may be used to initiate a new project or to accelerate existing projects but are not intended for bridge support.
