ICTR Also Offers Voucher Support And Pilot Grant Funding
ICTR Voucher (micro-grant) Program
The ICTR Vouchers Program awards vouchers (micro grants) to help defray the costs for services needed from other UMB Cores, such as CIBR, GCRC, BIORESCO, NORC, and IDS services, as well as off-campus community-engaged research services. ICTR Vouchers — valued up to $10,000 for funded projects and up to $5,000 for unfunded projects — enable preliminary work and generation of pilot data on clinical translational research projects. Applications accepted every 2 months.
ICTR ATIP Grant Program
The ICTR Accelerated Translational Incubator Pilot (ATIP) Program provides funds to initiate, implement, and complete a research project that will contribute to the development of new therapies, devices, or approaches to clinical research. The ICTR will award pilot grants up to $50,000 to investigators at UMB, with some awards earmarked for community-focused research. Applications accepted in early spring of each year.
