The Ohio State University Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) facilitates and supports the translation of scientific discoveries into innovations that improve health for all. To achieve this mission and advance translational research, the CCTS awards vouchers to provide funding support for investigators who require assistance from an Ohio State or a Nationwide Children’s Hospital core service to enable preliminary work and generate data for new or ongoing projects. Vouchers may also be used to secure fee-based core services for expert consultation services (such as biostatistics) with the ultimate goal of furthering clinical and translational research. To facilitate innovative research, the CCTS will award vouchers to Ohio State and Nationwide Children's Hospital investigators worth up to $3,000. To support new collaborations, the CCTS will award Ohio State and Nationwide Children's Hospital investigators up to $5,000 for projects involving researchers from two different colleges or institutions. The voucher program is open through July 31, 2024, and processes applications on a rolling basis.
