Research Initiative Details

The Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program Collaborative and Innovative Acceleration (CCIA) Award  supports synergistic activities that accelerate the translational research process through collaboration and innovation. The purpose of this notice of funding opportunity announcement (NOFO) is to invite applicants to develop, demonstrate and disseminate innovative solutions that transform the field of translational science by addressing the inefficiencies that are common across diseases  through collaborative science among the CTSA Program hubs, NIH Institutes, Centers, Offices (ICOs), and/or external stakeholders. By emphasizing innovation and collaborative science, the CTSA serves as a catalyst to enable all entities in the translational research enterprise to work more efficiently and effectively to bring more treatments to all people more quickly.
