Clinical & Translational Pilot Grants

This grant is not currently accepting applications. Check back in 2024.

Goals & Background

The mission of the Delaware CTR ACCEL Program is to accelerate clinical and translational research that addresses health outcomes of Delawareans. The CTR Pilot Projects Program annually solicits applications for funding of projects related to clinical and translational (C&T) research. C&T Pilot grants may be either Regular C&T Pilots or Community Engagement C&T Pilots. Regular C&T Pilots will provide funds for a 1-year period; Community Engagement C&T Pilots will provide funds for a 2-year period. Both kinds are intended to allow a research team to develop a more substantial basis for independent external support from the NIH.
