Two $100,000 one-year awards will be funded as part of a newly announced translational research seed grant program for members of the Great Plains Health Research Consortium.
This new translational research program is intended to galvanize new research partnerships among the consortium institutions, which are:
- UNMC;
- Boys Town National Research Hospital;
- Northern Plains Tribal Epidemiology Center;
- South Dakota State University;
- University of Nebraska-Lincoln;
- University of Nebraska at Omaha;
- University of South Dakota; and
- USDA Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center.
These proposals must represent translational research, which is research that moves investigations from basic to clinical research or clinical trials into community settings.
Research that includes a biomedical informatics component as one of the partners also will be considered translational research.
Proposals are due by May 1. Further details and the required application for the RFA are available on the Center for Clinical and Translational Research Web site.
