UR CTSI Funding 

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.

Community-Based Participatory Research Pathway-to-Pilot Award

This award is intended for academic and community partners who have completed a UR CBPR course or who have demonstrated experience in CBPR. Research teams must consist of one faculty member or trainee (defined as a graduate student, medical student, resident, postdoc or fellow in a training program) or a staff member with a faculty mentor from the University of Rochester and at least one community partner of the greater Rochester area.

Data Science Pathway-to-Pilot Award

The Data Science category focuses on the development of novel data science methods and technologies that address translational research barriers and/or support translational science aims. Proposed projects should lead to application for further UR CTSI pilot funding or to independent external funding.
