CTRA
THE YFS FOUNDATION CLINICAL AND TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH AWARD (CTRA)
The YFS Foundation in collaboration with academic organizations will offer awards to recognize excellence in clinical and translational research by junior faculty (assistant professor), fellows and residents of Internal Medicine and Urology specialties. Four awards will be presented annually. Each specialty will receive one award for a junior faculty member and one award for a Fellow or a resident (post graduate year, PGY, trainee).
NOTE: to promote “Team Science” applications can be made by more than one individual and if successful, the award will be shared equally. The YFS Clinical and Translation Award seeks to stimulate research within each clinical department leading to innovations and contribute to healthcare. It is anticipated that scientific discoveries will be translated into therapeutic interventions for a wide range of diseases.
