The mission of the Delaware CTR ACCEL Program is to accelerate clinical and translational research that addresses health outcomes of Delawareans. The Interdisciplinary New Collaborative (INC) Awards are a new mechanism aimed at fostering new and innovative collaborations among investigators from different disciplines whose work spans different regions of the translation spectrum (see https://ncats.nih.gov/about/about-translational-science/spectrum for NIH’s definition). For example, a proposal might pair testing the efficacy of a rehabilitation intervention in children with autism along with examination of blood and brain biomarkers that may be predictive of autism severity or responsiveness to the intervention. This would involve both basic and clinical research and might engage investigators with expertise in neurology, physiology, endocrinology, psychology, and/or physical rehabilitation all working together. Another example might be an engineer working on an innovative smartphone application to track distances walked in the community collaborating with a behavioral psychologist and an exercise physiologist focused on identifying and reducing barriers to increasing walking exercise among community dwelling older adults. INC Awards are $125,000 over 18 months.
