DoW Traumatic Brain Injury and Psychological Health, Translational Research Award
<p><strong>Summary:</strong> The Translational Research Award (TRA) intends to accelerate the conversion of scientific findings into impactful clinical applications. The TRA prioritizes innovative approaches over purely iterative or incremental research. Submissions focusing on minor modifications to existing standards without the intent or potential to significantly improve clinical care or patient outcomes do not meet the intent of the mechanism.</p><p><strong>Distinctive Features:</strong><strong style="color: red;"> </strong>Basic research and clinical trials are prohibited. Preliminary data are required.</p><p>· For animal research, applications must describe the choice of model and its relevance to the human clinical condition.</p><p>· For research prospectively enrolling human subjects, the inclusion of community-based participatory research (CBPR) approaches is required.</p><p>· The Translational Research Award offers funding for two Research Levels. The applicant is responsible for selecting the Research Level based on the scope of the research.</p><p>○ <strong>Research Level 1: </strong>Supports the refinement of mature ideas and concepts into tangible and knowledge products positioned for further evaluation.</p><p>○ <strong>Research Level 2:</strong> Supports the rigorous evaluation of tangible and knowledge products in preparation for first-in-human studies or clinical trials.</p><p>· <strong>Early-Career Investigator Partnering Option (<em>available for both Research Levels</em>):</strong> This option accommodates two Principal Investigators (PIs), one of which is an Early-Career Investigator.

Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Excellence in Research
The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Excellence in Research (HBCU-EiR) program was established in response to direction provided in the Senate Commerce and Justice, Science and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee Report (Senate Report 115-139), and is built on prior and continuing efforts by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to strengthen research capacity at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). This report provided guidance to NSF to establish the HBCU Excellence in Research program "to provide opportunities for both public and private HBCUs, particularly for those who have not been successful in larger NSF Research & Related Activities competitions, in order to stimulate sustainable improvement in their research and development capacity" (<a href="https://congress.gov/congressional-report/115th-congress/senate-report/139/1" target="_blank">https://congress.gov/congressional-report/115th-congress/senate-report/139/1</a>). EiR supports such capacity building by funding research projects aligned with NSF's research programs. The program aims to establish stronger connections between researchers at HBCUs and NSF's research programs.
