CTSI-CN Winter 2020 -2021 Voucher
The Collaboration and Multidisciplinary Team Science Module of CTSI-CN Announces a Call for Winter 2020-2021 Voucher Applications
Awards of up to $4K each are available for multidisciplinary research teams engaged in biomedical or community research aimed at translating discovery to improved health. Research teams must include 2 or more independent investigators, with one designated as the PI for the entire application. The purpose of this voucher opportunity is to support research that will eventually lead to collaborative or multiple PI proposals.
Studies of all types (T1-T4) are eligible and faculty at all levels may apply. Investigators who received Voucher or Team Science funding in 2019-2020 are ineligible for this particular award cycle. Expected deliverables include coauthored papers, collection of preliminary data, submitted federal proposals, development of collaborative intellectual property, or a defined timeline for these.
Applications are limited to 2 pages (Arial, 11 point font), not including references. Applications should include: 1) title, 2) timeline for expected deliverables, and 3) brief description of the project in NIH format (intro, significance, innovation, aim(s), research plan). Biosketches and an NIH-style budget are also required as separate documents. Applications that do not adhere to above guidelines and those on the following page will not be reviewed.
Due to the extremely short turnaround time for utilization of funds (especially during COVID restrictions), IRB approval for projects involving human subjects or IACUC approval for projects involving animals is required at the time of submission of the application. Ideally, the studies proposed will be ongoing or rapidly deployable.
Important Dates:
- Proposals Due: January 1, 2021
- Funding Announcements: January 31, 2021
- Awarded Period: March 1, 2021- May 31, 2021. No extensions allowed.
Applicants are encouraged to utilize CTSI-CN resources (such as those listed on page 3 of this RFA for research support.

The Pilot and translational clinical studies program
Team science awards
Translational Team Science Awards (TTSAs)
Translational Team Science Awards (TTSAs) aim to promote creative, multidisciplinary team-based research focused on complex or challenging biomedical research questions. TTSA research teams must be comprised of 3 or more independent disciplines or types of expertise. Teams may be formed from any combination of academic labs, clinical partners, industry or foundations. Innovative, high-impact studies of all types (T1-T4) are eligible and faculty at all levels may apply. The total budget for an entire team may not exceed $25,000 in total costs. The project period is 12 months long with no extensions.
Population Health Team Science Awards (PHTSAs)
Awards of up to $25K each are available for projects that propose innovative, high-impact multidisciplinary studies in community-based population health research. The aim of the PHTSA is to form partnerships between two or more faculty from different disciplines and at least one community partner to embark on projects that utilize community based participatory research methods to focus on health disparities in a marginalized population. The research question should be such that no individual within the team could complete the project without the additional expertise of all the other members of the team.

So you've submitted a successful LOI...
Depending on your study, you may have to:
- Consult the IRB
- Write up a research and data plan
- Formulate a budget
- Create a study timeline
- Develop a team structure
- And fill out essential documentation to get NCATS Approval
There’s a lot to do, but we’ve designed our NCATS services to walk you through the entire process. We strongly recommend that all our awardees (i.e researchers, administrators, and research staff) attend our live Information Sessions or use our resources below to better understand the process, best practices and, ultimately, quicken their approval.
