The Western States Consortium, which includes the University of Iowa Institute for Clinical and Translational Science (ICTS) and five other Clinical and Translational Sciences Award (CTSA) Program institutions, invites all faculty to apply for a new pilot funding opportunity.

The purpose of the pilot awards is to promote inter-institutional collaboration by funding innovative, translational research projects that involve two or more of the six Western States Consortium members. Awards of up to $25,000 will be provided by each participating institution.
