Translational Technologies and Resources (TTR)
The overarching goal of the Translational Technologies & Resources (TTR) program is to provide the infrastructure and programmatic foundation to support existing and developing technology resources to enhance translational research and transform the existing clinical research enterprise in the ACTSI community. The TTR program focus is in the following five areas of emphasis:genomics, imaging, immunology/vaccine, molecular screening technology, and animal models of human disease.
Four key program components support the TTR program goals:
Proof-of-Principle Fund
To support rapid evaluation and translation of high-impact emerging technologies
Co-Sponsorship Program for Biomedical Symposia
To promote technology training and foster interdisciplinary collaborations
Technologies Pilot Funding
To promote novel methodological developments
Technologies Portal
To facilitate use of core technologies and enhance opportunities for collaboration among translational investigators
