Institutional Translation Partnership Awards 'London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine' (360G-Wellcome-214227_Z_18_Z)

The LSHTM Institutional Translation Partnership Award (iTP A) aims to explore and stimulate translational research, enabling our researchers to progress their research along the translation pipeline, and crucially embed and incentivise a culture of innovation. A translational facilitator will liaise with researchers to identify appropriate projects, develop funding strategies, provide project management support, and coordinate industrial collaborations. Flexible seed funding for pilot projects and access to relevant training programs will ensure that researchers across career stages can confidently explore and contribute to the translational research landscape. Researchers will also have access to translational expertise through experts in residence, while challenge led workshops will bring together researchers with industry experts to address key translational challenges. Finally, a translational culture will be firmly embedded by rewarding and celebrating translation as part of research excellence through the development of Innovation awards which will be launched at a new showcase during the annual LSHTM week.
