Research Partnership Award

Intent: To create an avenue to support new or existing collaborative research partnerships between/among investigators to address a research problem or question in a manner that would be unachievable through separate efforts. It is expected that investigators utilize their distinct but complementary perspectives to synergistically address a central problem or question critical to PTE research and those living with PTE, their families, and/or their care partners.

Applications must include a Collaboration Plan that outlines the interactions between/among the partners and explains how the expertise of each partner will contribute to the execution of the research project. A proposed project in which a partner merely supplies tissue or access to patients will not meet the intent of this award mechanism.

This opportunity is open to both foreign and domestic investigators.
