The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a funding opportunity through the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program for the Collaborative and Innovative Acceleration Award (UG3/UH3), aimed at enhancing the translational research process. This initiative seeks innovative applications that foster collaboration among CTSA hubs and other stakeholders to address inefficiencies in translating research into clinical and public health interventions, particularly for underserved populations. The funding mechanism involves a two-phase cooperative agreement, with a focus on measurable milestones and sustainability plans to ensure impactful dissemination of successful interventions. Interested applicants, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, must submit their proposals by October 17, 2024, and can find additional information at the NIH grants website or contact the NIH OER Webmaster at OERWebmaster03@od.nih.gov.
