Irving Institute Announces 2019-2020 CaMPR and CaMPR-ISP Pilot Awardees
The Irving Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, home to Columbia University’s Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program hub, announces the winners of the Collaborative and Multidisciplinary Pilot Research (CaMPR) Pilot Award and the Collaborative and Multidisciplinary Pilot Research Pilot Award – Integrating Special Populations Award (CaMPR-ISP).
The CaMPR pilot award program focuses on the innovative assembly of new teams to gather preliminary data to address unresolved clinical, translational and public health problems with novel approaches informed by interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary collaboration. In 2019, the Irving Institute expanded the CaMPR program to include Integrating Special Populations (ISP). The new CaMPR-ISP pilot awards support the formation of newly-configured investigative teams aimed at studying diseases across the lifespan and utilizing rare diseases as tools to study more common ones at Columbia University and within the community. In 2019, our CaMPR-ISP projects focused on four special populations: Pediatrics, Geriatrics, Rare Diseases, or HIV.
