The UNYTE Translational Research Network (UNYTE) is a consortium of 20 biomedical research institutions from across New York State. UNYTE fosters transdisciplinary and trans-institutional research collaborations and engages community and regional partners to demonstrate and disseminate methods and approaches to advance translational research.
UNYTE Pipeline-to-Pilot Funding Opportunity
This award provides up to $20,000 over 11 months to stimulate research partnerships between the University of Rochester and UNYTE member institutions so they may compete for future research funding. Research teams must consist of one faculty member at the University of Rochester and at least one faculty member at another UNYTE member institution. Proposed projects should lead to application for further UR CTSI pilot funding or to independent external funding. Learn more about the UNYTE Translational Research Network.
UNYTE Translational Research Network grant projects should focus on translational science, with a focus on understanding a scientific or operational principle underlying a step of the translational process with the goal of developing generalizable principles to accelerate translational research.
