• Up to four OU departments may each access up to $20,000 in direct costs. 

Application Requirements

• Eligibility: Open to OU departments with current accreditation and active faculty conducting research that is publishable and translatable to real-world applications.
  Disciplines across campus are encouraged to apply. Connections to cross-campus initiatives, such as the VPRP multidisciplinary centers and institutes, are encouraged but not required.

  • Two-page proposal describing the project and goals
  • One-page support letter from Department/School Director
•  Submission: Submission Closed.
   

ART: InTRO Scoping Translational Research Projects (Scoping TRP)

The ART: InTRO Scoping TRP program supports OU researchers to develop the idea for a translatable research project over a 3-month period. By seeding these projects, the ART: InTRO team incentivizes researchers who have not yet considered translating their work to interact with the OU and Oklahoma innovation ecosystem. Through these actions, OU will grow the number of researchers across campus pursuing translational research.

Program Goals

• Support researchers in taking the next steps toward translation — building teams and finding complementary expertise.
• Broaden participation of faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers in translational research.

Funding Opportunity

• Up to 5 Scoping TRP teams will receive up to $15,000 (direct and indirect costs) to support translational research activities over a three-month period.

Application Requirements

• Eligibility: Open to individuals or teams of faculty, postdocs, and graduate students.
• Proposal Package: Proposal Package Documents
  • Two-page proposal describing the project and goals
  • One-page support letter from Department/School Director
• Submission: Submission Closed.

The ART: InTRO Academy Fellowship offers OU faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students the opportunity to explore the societal and economic impact of translational research while becoming leaders in research translation across disciplines.

Program Goals

• Develop institutional capacity and infrastructure for translational research activities in the short- and long-terms.
• Create and continually train new cohorts of faculty, grad students and postdoctoral researchers versed in translational research.
• Support a nationwide network of ‘ART Ambassadors’ who will be agents of change

Funding Opportunity

• Up to 5 ART Academy Fellows will each receive a $10,000 fellowship to participate in ART: InTRO Academy sessions and conduct translational research that benefits society.
