For questions about the ATIP Application, please email

ICTR-Navigator@umaryland.edu

For the UMB projects funded by the CTSA, ATIP funds cannot be released without NCATS review of the project, IRB Determination letter and/or IACUC letter, and CITI training documentation.  NCATS may take up to four weeks to review and approve the projects.  NCATS project approvals received after the May 1, 2020 start date will shorten the funding period.  Additional delays will shorten the funding period correspondingly. 

Since no-cost-extensions or carry-overs are NOT permitted, the ICTR strongly advises all applicants to obtain the required regulatory documentation and any other required training and certification required by NCATS prior to the ICTR announcing awardees.  The ICTR will request the required packet of documents from awardees within one week of the award announcement and will submit to NCATS.  Links to the NCATS requirements are below. 

NCATS prior-approval forms and supportive documents can be downloaded from these links.
