Friday, April 10 is the deadline for letters of intent for the Translational Research Institute’s (TRI) request for applications (RFA) for its 2015 Pilot Award Program. This year, TRI is soliciting two categories of pilot study proposals: 1) translational science studies, and 2) studies of research processes. Budgets up to $50,000 will be considered in both categories and a review of the budgeting will be part of the funding decision. All projects must be completed within one year; however, due to the short time line for TRI’s 2015 year, investigators are urged to submit projects that can be completed within 9-10 months. Letter of intent instructions and cover page are at the RFA link above. Contact: TRIservices@uams.edu, or call 501-614-2287.
