This funding mechanism aims to support collaborative research activities between CARRA and PReS early career investigators. Early career investigators are defined as faculty (not fellows) who have completed their training/education in the past 10 years. This funding mechanism aims to provide seed funding that allows CARRA and PReS investigators to successfully plan and apply for other grants that could support large-scale collaborative research activities. Grant funds may be used to convene meetings, generate preliminary data, and/or support collaborative pilot studies.

Grant applications should show how the applicants will leverage the infrastructure of CARRA and PReS, address priority research topics for both communities, engage patients, and extend expertise that would otherwise not be possible working with either group alone.
