The STSI Pilot/Methodological grants consist of awards for approximately $50,000 of direct funds directly relating to translational research that has the potential to impact the future of medicine. The submission information has not changed for the Pilot awards, except that if you are submitting for a pilot AND are a Scripps Health Investigator you may also concurrently submit for a SCRDA award for your project, similar to matching funds. There is a checkbox on the cover page of the application denoting this type of submission. There is also a new section containing justification for the use of both awards to complete your proposal. SEE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPECIFIC DETAILS.

The Scripps Clinical Research & Development Award (SCRDA) program has been discontinued.
