The Long Island Network for Clinical and Translational Science (LINCATS) at Stony Brook University is:
Soliciting submissions of Clinical and Translational Science Research Projects for inclusion in Stony Brook University’s upcoming NIH Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Proposal
Would you like to have your Clinical and Translational Science Research Project included in Stony Brook University’s upcoming CTSA proposal? The CTSA program is designed to develop and implement innovative solutions that will improve the efficiency, quality, and impact of the process for turning observations in the laboratory, clinic, and community into interventions that improve the health of individuals and communities. The selected project will be a discrete research project that addresses a truly significant roadblock in clinical and translational science (CTS) [What is translational science?]. The research project should not only address a translational research question in a particular disease or intervention development/dissemination context but also must provide a generalizable CTS innovation or insight that can be applied to other translational research projects and thereby increase the overall efficiency or effectiveness of translation. Research program priority areas include (but are not restricted to): Health equities and disparities; dissemination and implementation; equity in research participation; and social determinants of health.
One or more clinical and translational science research project(s) will be selected to move forward as part of the NIH submission (target submission is September 1, 2024). Budgets will vary between $125,000 to $250,000 per year for two to three years or longer, depending on the project’s scope.
Research project leaders will become a critical part of an upcoming NIH CTSA proposal, headed by Dr. Anissa Abi-Dargham as PI, which includes over 60 Stony Brook researchers and in partnership with Brookhaven National Laboratory and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. This effort complements a structure that includes a postdoctoral training program, community engagement, and a pilot award program.
APPLICANT REQUIREMENTS:
No restrictions. This internal competition is open both internally to Stony Brook University researchers across all schools and colleges, as well as Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Northport Veterans Administration Medical Center researchers. Research collaborations between these institutions are encouraged.
INTERNAL DEADLINE: May 29, 2024
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/QUESTIONS:
The LINCATS leadership team will host a virtual town hall to discuss the program and provide details on what types of research projects will be considered. This event will take place on May 15, 2024 at 10 am. Register for the event here.
Office hours with the LINCATS team will also be available for live Q&A at the following times:
