Teams submitting a proposal should aim to answer relevant research questions involving basic, translational, clinical, and epidemiological approaches, such as:

  • What challenges related to human health and well-being could be investigated via unique collaborations between two or more disciplines?
  • What new discoveries related to the study of disease and other factors that negatively impact human health and well-being could be achieved?Ìý
  • What unmet needs related to operations within clinical science, clinical systems, health services, population health could inform and drive the development of novel research technologies and capabilities?Ìý
  • What opportunities are there for two or more disciplines to come together to translate innovations that positively impact humans, patients, practice, or population health?Ìý
