The Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Sciences (NUCATS) Institute announces this Request for Applications (RFA) for the 2025 Eisenberg Pilot Awards. The Eisenberg Pilot Award offers up to $25,000 in support for translational medicine projects proposed by teams of investigators within the Feinberg School of Medicine and its affiliate partners (Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, or Shirley Ryan AbilityLab). These awards aim to support innovative projects that bridge the gap between research laboratories and the clinical introduction of new therapies or devices, ultimately benefiting patients. This award is designed to support early-stage research that may require preliminary findings, providing a critical foundation for future, larger-scale studies. Early-career investigators are especially encouraged to apply, as this funding opportunity seeks to nurture and develop the next generation of leaders in translational medicine.
