SW CACTI accepting applications to fund clinical translational sciences pilot projects

Today

U of A Health Sciences

The Southwest Center for Advancing Clinical and Translational Innovation is welcoming applications to fund pilot projects focused on clinical translational science that are designed to develop, demonstrate or disseminate innovations to improve health outcomes, reduce health disparities and address urgent public health needs across the Southwest.

The purpose of this request for applications is to support pilot projects that utilize the SW CACTI infrastructure to produce preliminary data for competitive National Institutes of Health grant proposals in clinical and translational science. Translational science goals must be highly methodological and demonstrate feasible and generalizable solutions to clinical translational science problems. All awards are dependent upon the availability of SW CACTI funds.

Faculty members interested in applying for pilot funding are asked to submit pilot preproposals by noon on Jan. 30, 2026.
