The purpose of this funding mechanism is to
provide a new opportunity and resources to support innovative, collaborative research
relevant to the health challenges and disparities faced by the nation.
The funding for these pilot studies is derived from the CCTS program in
partnership with other UK Centers, and with other Universities in the
Appalachian Translational Research Network (ATRN). Hence, some of the
awards will give priority to studies with a disease focus, community
engagement, or with collaboration between UK and other Universities.
Investigators at all stages of career
development, junior, middle level, and senior are eligible to apply to the
following categories of awards:

The UK Markey Cancer
will contribute to this program and studies related to cancer are

from basic mechanisms that contribute to the high incidence of cancer in
Appalachia to population-based cancer prevention and control studies.
