UNYTRN Pilot Program

The Upstate New York Translation al Research Network (UNYTRN) offers 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 clinical or translational research. To receive funding, projects must involve a co-PI arrangement where one PI is from the University of Rochester and at least one is from another UNYTRN member institution. 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 UNYTRN pilot program RFA has been incorporated into the CTSI pilot program RFA. The deadline for preliminary applications is August 3, 2009. To view the RFA please click here.
