Translational Research Opportunities

The University of Virginia's expertise and funding sources can assist scientists in translating their discovery-driven research into applied clinical or commercial settings prior to company formation.  Examples include:

  • Coulter Foundation Translational Research Partnership Awards support translational research projects involving Biomedical Engineering faculty and clinical co-investigators, with a focus on outcomes that improve patient care. For more information go to: http://bme.virginia.edu/coulter/
  • Swortzel Collaborative Research Award supports translational research projects that address unmet clinical needs in diseases of the eye, ear, and heart as well as cancer.  The program emphasizes collaboration by requiring 2 primary investigators from different departments within the University (at least one from the School of Medicine).
  • Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) pilot and feasibility projects will, pending NIH funding, provide a mechanism for the development of education and infrastructure to support clinical and translational research.  Its pilot and feasibility awards will require collaboration by U.Va. basic scientists and clinicians. 
  • School of Medicine Office of Research (http://www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/internet/research/) provides assistance in identifying various translational research opportunities.
