**NEW** Special opportunity - OCTRI translational science pilot project

OCTRI is accepting applications for a translational science pilot project that can be developed with ~$30,000 in funding to collect preliminary data for inclusion as an R01-sized research project (up to $300,000) in OCTRI’s next grant renewal submission due in May 2026.
Translational science projects address research barriers with generalizable solutions. Examples of translational science projects can be found in Dr. Cindy Morris' OHSU Research Town Hall presentation from Dec 2, 2024 (slides, video recording).
Letters of intent due February 15, 2025.
