TAPITMAT Transdisciplinary Awards Program in Translational Medicine and Therapeutics

The Institute for Translational Medicine and Therapeutics (ITMAT) invites proposals from ITMAT Members and ITMAT Associate Members in the Research Associate or Instructor A category. It is not too late to become a Member or an Associate Member if you would like to apply for the grant and meet membership criterion. If you are interested, please visit the membership section of our website for details.

The proposals must center on the translational space – from proof of concept in cells or model systems through to mechanistic studies in humans elucidating human physiology or mechanisms of disease or, in drug development, parsing sources of variability in drug response and/or understanding mechanisms of drug action in humans in Phase II. Programs that plan to progress within that space and which deploy technologies and approaches conventionally segregated from each other within the traditional boundaries of academic medicine will be especially favored. Proposals that focus on translational therapeutics or on bridging the pediatric to adult divide are particularly encouraged.

The deadline for applications is Friday, December 7, 2018 at NOON, for an award start date of February 1, 2019.
