WHAT SCHOLARS SAY
“The pilot data acquired during the Translational Research Scholars Program will help establish feasibility and provide preliminary data to support a larger NIH-funded study. The funding from ITHS has been crucial in getting some of this pilot data.” – Dr. Sujata Pradhan, UW Department of Rehabilitation Medicine
“The funding I got through the Translational Research Scholars Program helped me to do some experiments in my lab. But, more importantly, the actual programs I was partaking in, the monthly conference calls, onsite visits, career development aspects, and other things helped me put together a strong R21 application.” – Dr. Kirk Hevener, Idaho State University
“The Translational Research Scholars Program makes me feel connected to a larger network of researchers that I can call upon. I think I would feel isolated without that.” – Dr. Cynthia Curl, Boise State University
APPLICATION DETAILS
Applications accepted until February 17, 2017.
