Translational Research Grant (TRG) Type: Grant | Category: Research and Tech # Translational Research Grant The**Translational Research Grant (TRG)** program funds research projects that explore commercial applications or initiate the early commercial development of university-held life sciences inventions.
The technology must have the potential to solve a real-world problem as a commercial product in the life sciences sector.
The goals of the TRG program include: * Advancing research discoveries toward product-focused translational research development * Generating data that addresses important product development or regulatory milestones, addresses the concerns of potential licensees or investors, or otherwise de-risks the technology for a specific commercial application * Enabling strategic “go/no-go” decision-making regarding further technology development or the pursuit of intellectual property protection * Enabling technology licensing efforts by the university * Establishing goal-oriented partnerships between university scientists, product development professionals and key stakeholders Applicants must be researchers employed by a North Carolina-based university or nonprofit research institute.
Technical projects may be conducted at awardee institutions or outsourced to contract research organizations. Proposals will be evaluated on the composition of the project team, including a project manager, and the setting of relevant, realistic, and achievable milestones during the product development tasks.

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.

DARPA's FY26 SBIR/STTR Release 5 pre-released August 5, 2026, opens August 26, and closes September 23 — a four-week window. Five SBIR topics and one STTR topic span underwater 3D concrete printing, semantic ISR communications, species-agnostic cell culture, open-architecture AUVs, and algorithm-discovery tooling. Here is what each topic funds, why DARPA's new monthly cadence changes how small businesses should plan, and how to use the three-week pre-release to talk to topic authors before the clock starts.
Read articleNSF just committed $380 million to build a national network of AI-programmable, remotely operated laboratories — the Programmable Cloud Laboratories Test Bed (NSF 25-541), the agency's flagship contribution to the Genesis Mission. Twenty nodes, four years, self-driving experiments in chemistry, biology and materials. Here is what it funds, who is eligible, why the 'existing facilities only' rule matters, and how researchers and companies should position for what comes next.
Read articleOn July 22, 2026, the Department of Energy opened the first Phase I SBIR/STTR release tied to its Genesis Mission — roughly 40 awards across biotechnology, AI-for-quantum, predictable-materials design, and autonomous laboratories — alongside about $147M in FY25 Phase II funding. Here is what each topic area actually wants, who is eligible, how this connects to the $5B Genesis Mission, and how a small business should position before the broader fall solicitation.
