CTSI Pilot Awards aim to advance Clinical and Translational Science (CTS) at UCSF by offering one year funding opportunities to ignite innovative projects that possess high methodological and scientific quality, answer important scientific questions and catalyze research for the translation of discoveries in translational sciences.
A particular emphasis is placed on support for faculty and trainees in health sciences, early career investigators, and research focused on areas of strong public interest.
Pilots aim to support study activities that will advance CTS including the development of new research methods/technologies, BERD research, dissemination of tools and methods, and more.
