What the grant funds

The FY23 PRCRP TTSA supports hypothesis-driven translational studies. These studies must be associated with ongoing or completed clinical trial. The proposed project should focus on research for the next-phase clinical trial or future clinical application. The TTSA is intended to support advanced translational studies that are based on results from clinical investigations and to utilize information from the clinical trials for research that would then inform the clinic. While funding for clinical trials is allowed, the TTSA is intended to support multi-investigator, multidisciplinary teams to perform clinical research studies and not only to fund a clinical trial. Research projects funded by the TTSA should address critical knowledge gaps in clinical outcomes, validate key research results, expand upon potentially game-changing results, or investigate novel clinical findings. The TTSA is not intended to support high-throughput screenings or sequencing. The goal of the TTSA is to bring together a synergistic team of investigators to address clinical problems that may have an impact on patient outcomes. Important aspects of the TTSA mechanism are as follows: · Collaboration: The TTSA offers a unique opportunity for multiple investigators to partner on one research project. The success of the project depends on the unique skills and contributions of each collaborator. At least two and up to three Principal Investigators (PIs) must partner in one overarching study in at least one of the required FY23 PRCRP Topic Areas. At least one military or VA investigator is strongly encouraged to be included as an equal partner in the research, offering both intellectual investment and research effort. A military or VA investigator is defined as an investigator who is active-duty or active- reserve and detailed to agencies outside of the DOD, civilian DOD investigators, or an investigator at a VA research facility. The military/VA investigator should have a substantial role in the research and should not be included only for access to active-duty military and/or VA populations. · Translation: The application should provide evidence for the reciprocal transfer of information between laboratory bench science and clinical science or vice-versa in developing and implementing the research plan. Translational research should be based on clinical trials.
