• SW CACTI Pilot RFAs released after June 2024 will be reviewed using “translational science” criterion.  We encourage prospective investigators to learn about the distinction between “translational science” and “translational research” in advance of future funding opportunities.
• Will exemplify the SW CACTI mission of developing clinical and translational science, to promote and support the “bench to bedside to community and practice and back.”
• Utilize the SW CACTI infrastructure to produce preliminary data for competitive NIH grant proposals in clinical and translational science.
• Be of high methodological quality and must demonstrate feasible and generalizable solutions to translational science problems.
• Promote the integration of all populations in translational science across the human lifespan.
  All awards are dependent upon the availability of SW CACTI funds. Learn more about the various SW CACTI funding opportunities.
