Pilot Project Funding for Rare Disease Research

The Oregon Clinical & Translational Research Institute (OCTRI) is now accepting applications for Pilot Project Funding for Rare Disease Research. A rare (or orphan) disease is generally considered to have a prevalence of fewer than 200,000 affected individuals in the US. Certain diseases with 200,000 or more affected individuals may be included in this list if certain subpopulations of people who have the disease are equal to the prevalence standard for rare diseases.

Pilot Project Funding for Investigations into the Ethical Conduct of Research

The Oregon Clinical & Translational Research Institute (OCTRI) is now accepting applications for Pilot Project Funding for Investigations into the Ethical Conduct of Research. The purpose of this funding mechanism is to stimulate research on ways to improve and expand how we conduct and oversee human subject research. Successful applications will draw from techniques in qualitative and quantitative research and borrow from program evaluation methodology and the practice of quality assessment and process improvement. Proposed projects should consider ways to improve and expand how we conduct and oversee research. Examples of such would include but not be limited to examining novel approaches to obtaining consent, proposing new models for oversight that allow for equivalent protections, questioning the added-value of extra-regulatory activities, and/or studying the effects of reviewer biases on the quality of research.
