Transition to Independence Grant

Transition to Independence Grants (TIG) aim to support the transition of investigators from mentored training-focused support to independent (non-mentored) research support.

Research Areas: Basic science, clinical, translational or health services research

The application for new independent funding should have received a priority score or percentile but have fallen just outside of the funding threshold

Funding Amount and Duration: $75,000 over one year

Research Time: 20%
