The Long Island Network for Clinical and Translational Science (LINCATS) is awarding pilot funding of up to $25K per investigator with projects of novel approaches to translational science. This is open to faculty and postdoctoral fellows from the LINCATS network. Up to 8 awards will be granted per year – 4 of which will be provided to principal investigators from collaborating institutions, and 4 for SBU investigators.

Eligibility: All postdoctoral fellows and faculty affiliated with the LINCATS network (Brookhaven National Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, Northport VA Medical Center, Stony Brook University and all Stony Brook Medicine-affiliated healthcare locations) are eligible to apply. We will prioritize early career, under-represented groups, women, health disparities-focused clinical and translational science, and collaborative projects across institutions. Preference will be given to non-funded and new lines of research for the applying investigator.

Awardees will also benefit from research support from our Research Concierge, providing aid in:

Regulatory submission through approval
Data Capture and OnCore subject tracking
Pilot Tracking, to ensure the project meets specified milestones, including timely reporting
Resource Access to all LINCATS services
Monitoring and projecting study budgets
