CTSC Annual Pilot Award Program (multi-institution requirement)
Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative of Northern Ohio, Case Western Reserve University
The CTSA hub's flagship annual pilot competition, notable because every application must span two or more CTSC partner institutions — the award is designed around cross-institutional teams rather than a single lab. Useful for a social work researcher at one partner who can pair with a clinical or health-services collaborator at another.

- Who can apply
- Early-career faculty, Mid-career & senior, Any faculty rank
- Eligibility
- All applications must include two or more CTSC partner institutions or they will not be considered. The pilot is therefore restricted to the Northern Ohio CTSC consortium's partner institutions rather than open nationally; a researcher outside the consortium would need to join a partner-institution team. Applications route through a SPARC request and then InfoReady.
