Description
The OSCTR Pilot Projects Program provides funding, mentorship, and resources for early-stage, multidisciplinary clinical and translational research projects led by investigators at OSCTR member institutions. The program aims to strengthen research infrastructure, foster new collaborations, and generate preliminary data that can lead to improved health outcomes for Oklahoma and partner IDeA states. Projects should address significant health issues in the region, such as chronic disease, mental health, substance abuse, and health disparities, and are expected to position investigators for future independent research funding.
