<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Palatino;color:black">On behalf of Dr. Joyce and the rest of the UF–FSU Clinical and Translational Science (CTSA) team, we are pleased to announce a request for proposals for a
<a href="https://www.ctsi.ufl.edu/research/funding-opportunities/uf-fsu-ctsa-hub-pilot-project-awards/#current">
UF-FSU CTSA Pilot Project Award</a>. </span><span style="font-family:Palatino">The RFA is designed to support collaborative projects between FSU and UF that can be accomplished in 18 months or less and will concentrate on
<b>mental health</b>,<b> health disparities</b>,<b> maternal child health</b>, and<b> cardiovascular disorders
</b>and or/lay critical groundwork for subsequent research while extramural funding opportunities emerge.
<b>Applications must include one or more researchers from each institution. </b>Applications across the full spectrum of clinical and translational research are welcome, including preclinical research; clinical research conducted with human subjects or on material
of human origin (e.g., tissues, specimens, cognitive phenomena); epidemiological and behavioral studies; outcomes research and health services research; and the development of new technologies and methodologies. It is expected that research supported by this
mechanism will result in one or more publications in a peer-reviewed journal and provide critical preliminary data to support extramural applications.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
