What We Do
Our Pilot Projects are designed to stimulate new collaborations and multidisciplinary partnerships between laboratory scientists, physician investigators, and rural practitioners looking to begin a career in clinical and translational research. We provide funding and professional support for clinical and translational research, from project development through completion, for NNE-CTR members. Our core leads play a pivotal role in assisting investigators throughout the Pilot Project cycle, such as:
- Serving as your first point of contact for inquiries about the program
- Connecting you with one of our experienced Research Navigators to help guide you through ideation, design, application process, IRB & IACUC process, and the actual project itself
- Monthly check in meetings between awardees and our core leads and navigators to ensure you are progressing smoothly
- Arranging research progress presentations for awardees to present to our core leads and navigators
- Collection of data throughout the process to produce a final report and analysis for the Administrative Core
- Connecting you to other NNE-CTR initiatives as appropriate
