Frontiers CTSI Pilot, Community Partnership and Multi-Institutional Awards
Frontiers Clinical and Translational Science Institute, University of Kansas Medical Center
A CTSA hub running a stacked menu of small awards across an eight-institution regional partnership: pilot awards for early and mid-career investigators, an Integrating Special Populations award aimed at health disparities, small Broderick Crawford awards for researcher-community organisation partnerships, methods and biostatistics vouchers, and a multi-state rural CORES pilot. The community partnership and rural tracks are the ones most directly usable by social work researchers.
