Pilot Grant Program for Translational Stroke Studies | Institute for Clinical and Translational Science - The University of Iowa Pilot Grant Program for Translational Stroke Studies Pilot Grant Program for Translational Stroke Studies The University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine is sponsoring a pilot grant initiative to encourage innovation in cerebrovascular translational science across campus.
The University of Iowa is one of the 27 institutions selected as a regional coordinating center for NIH StrokeNet, a research network that aims to advance acute stroke treatment, prevention, and recovery by promoting translational research in stroke, as well as achieving efficiency in conducting clinical trials.
As part of this new network, the NINDS has initiated dedicated RFAs for translational research initiatives in stroke that can be tested through NIH StrokeNet in phase I-III trials. This pilot interdisciplinary award aims to help UI investigators across campus generate enough preliminary data for novel and promising stroke (ischemic & hemorrhagic) interventions.
Examples include treatment of acute stroke, recovery, prevention, as well as biomarkers (including neuroimaging). To be competitive for this unique funding opportunity related to NIH StrokeNet the project has to support or validate a promising therapy that can be eventually implemented in a StrokeNet clinical trial. Both basic and clinical science experiments will be considered.
Animal experiments should be translatable in nature, and therefore aiming to satisfy the NINDS requirements for development stroke therapies (STAIR & RIGOR criteria).
Human experiments should aim to generate preliminary data supportive of an eventual trial and includes, but are not limited to, Phase I dose-excalation studies, validating biomarkers (serum or imaging) or epidemiological analysis Faculty and trainees at the University of Iowa investigating novel stroke interventions (acute treatment, recovery or prevention), or biomarkers that could be used in intervention trials.
While post-doctoral students, fellows and clinical residents may apply, such applicants are required to have faculty members as co-investigators. Investigators should have an ongoing or planned partnership with physicians and staff of the Division of Cerebrovascular Diseases in the Department of Neurology and the UIHC Comprehensive Stroke Center.
Applicants are encouraged to work with members of the stroke division for guidance and suggestions before the submission. Funded projects are expected to work closely with translation stroke program. A two page application (Arial 11-point font with at least 0.
5 inch margins) will be needed for the initial selection process. The first page should include the following items: Preliminary Data (if available) Future plans for translation into stroke interventions Expected Impact on Improving Outcomes in stroke treatment, recovery, or prevention Plans for collaboration with the Cerebrovascular Division in the Department of Neurology. The second page should have an itemized budget.
Requests of up to $50,000 will be allowed. This program expects to fund two applications every 2 years. Applicants must justify their intended use of funds and are encouraged to take advantage of ICTS core resources.
Please note that grants will typically be funded for a two year period for a total of $50,000. Investigators must submit a new application to be considered for additional funding. In rare circumstances, pilot funds will support the purchase of necessary small equipment with proper justification.
Faculty salary or meeting travel will not be supported It is expected that pilot recipients will: Participate in and present their work at research seminars of the Division of Cerebrovascular Diseases Support an eventual U01 application as part of NIH StrokeNet Recognize the Carver College of Medicine for the grant support.
The pilot grant review committee is chaired by Dr. Marlan Hansen and includes members of the ICTS, Neurology, Epidemiology and Internal Medicine Departments. Proposals are reviewed according to five equally-weighted criteria for: Potential for improving stroke outcomes Potential for future funding through NIH StrokeNet. There is not an open RFA at this time.
It will be announced widely with details here when available.

NCI Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) Academic Career Excellence (ACE) Award (K32) is a grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) that funds early postdoctoral fellows from diverse backgrounds, including underrepresented groups, to pursue research training in cancer-related fields. The K32 award supports fellows within 12 months prior to transitioning into, or within the first two years of, a postdoctoral position. The program, operated through NCI's Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD), aims to enhance the pool of qualified diverse cancer researchers. Beginning with the June 12, 2025 due date, the CURE ACE Award is available in both Independent Clinical Trial Required and Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed versions. Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents at time of award.
Smart Health and Biomedical Research in the Era of Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Data Science (SCH) is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF) & National Institutes of Health (NIH). This interagency program supports high-risk, high-reward advances in AI and data science for biomedical and public health research. Projects must cross disciplinary boundaries.
A new Interior Department policy routes every grant and cooperative agreement of $50,000 or more through two political appointees for manual review. The result is a backlog of roughly 1,400 grants and $362 million in delayed funding — up from fewer than 10 two years ago. Here is how the bottleneck works, why it matters even for recipients who already have an award letter, and what nonprofits, universities, states, and tribes should do to protect projects that depend on Interior dollars.
