Translational Research Program (TRP) guidelines
The goal of translational research is to reduce the time between laboratory findings and actual treatment.
The submission period for TRP is now closed. Thank you for your Letters of Intent.
The Translational Research Program (TRP) was formed to enhance the transfer of basic research findings to clinical usefulness.
We are looking for applications that propose novel approaches to the prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of hematological malignancies and related pre-malignant conditions. Proposals should be based on molecular, cellular, or integrated systems findings and be conceptually innovative and with a clear plan for the eventual clinical translation of the studies proposed and the results expected.
