20th Annual CTRFP – Request for Applications Now Posted!
|
The ICTS is proud to announce its 20th annual Clinical and Translational Research Funding Program (CTRFP). The CTRFP provides ICTS members with the opportunity to apply for funds that promote the translation of scientific discoveries into improvements in human health. The deadline to submit a Letter of Intent is Monday, June 22, 2026.
Important Notice of Scope: As the ICTS will be between funding awards in 2027, this is a limited call for applications focused on later-stage clinical and translational research. Eligible projects will be clinically relevant, conducted in adult human subjects, and meet the priorities of Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Projects involving animal models, cell lines, or tissue-based research will not be funded. Since projects will be funded by the Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital, applicants from ICTS partner institutions will not be eligible for this cycle.
