Funding Objective: The goal of the OTA Full Member Grant is to provide funding for clinical, translational, or basic research projects that can be completed within the 24-month funding period. The expectation is that successful projects will result in a completed project with peer-reviewed publication or result in sufficient data to support external funding opportunities.
