UR CTSI Funding
UR CTSI Funding
The UR CTSI provides funding that supports highly innovative clinical and translational research, including pilot awards, career development awards, and a postdoctoral fellowship program. View internal and external funding calendar.
Max: $70,000
Career Development K Award
The UR CTSI Career Development Award (KL2) provides two years of support for the early career development of multidisciplinary clinical and translational scientists. The program fosters transition of KL2 scholars to an independent career as a clinical and translational investigator, generally by means of an individual K- or R-award.
