Description
This program aims to foster high-impact collaborative translational research projects that align with NIH priorities to accelerate the conversion of basic biological discoveries into clinical applications that improve health. The funding supports partnerships between NIH intramural investigators (those working within NIH laboratories and clinics) and extramural investigators (those based at external institutions) to advance understanding of disease processes and develop new therapeutic interventions, diagnostics, or prevention strategies. The initiative is designed to leverage unique NIH resources and expertise, encouraging innovative, high-quality science with strong potential for clinical translation.
