UNYTRN Pilot Program

The Upstate New York Consortium for Healthcare Research and Quality (UNYCHRQ) and the Upstate New York Translation al Research Network (UNYTRN) collaborate to offer a pilot funding program open to investigators at research institutions across the Upstate region. The objective of the program is to catalyze the formation of multi-institutional, cross-disciplinary research teams that are focused on a critical issue in biomedical, clinical, and / or translational research. To receive funding applicants must show meaningful involvement of faculty and facilities from at least two UNYCHRQ / UNYTRN member institutions. Applicants are strongly encouraged to develop an innovative, team-based approach that reflects the research strengths of the participating institutions, as well as of the investigators themselves.

The most recent UNYCHRQ / UNYTRN pilot program RFA was released March 16, 2009, and the deadline is May 8, 2009. To view the RFA please click here.
