Award Winners

Deans' Transformational Science Award (DTSA)

The Deans' Transformational Science Award (DTSA) is an initiative of the Jefferson Committee on Research (JCOR), awarded through the Office of the Provost. This award mechanism is designed to enhance the success of Jefferson’s research-intensive faculty and to nurture the development of HIGH-IMPACT SCIENCE. The intent of the DTSA funding mechanism is to catalyze Transformational Science initiatives driven by Jefferson faculty and enable the generation of pivotal data that will form the basis of new, federally-funded, extramural grant submissions.

Provost’s Pilot Clinical Research Award

The Provost’s Pilot Clinical Research Award is an initiative of the Jefferson Committee on Research (JCOR), awarded through the Office of the Provost. Specific goals of the Provost’s Pilot Clinical Research Award are to foster collaborative research and team science, and to develop clinical research topics that have been minimally explored at TJU.

This award mechanism is designed to foster new collaborative efforts between clinicians, clinical researchers, and/or basic science researchers by promoting clinician engagement in research. This award provides the opportunity for collaborative teams to obtain clinical research data to justify a more expansive study funded by extramural sources. Thus, projects must show evidence of having potential to significantly improve the competitiveness of a subsequent extramural grant application. Projects must also contribute to departmental, college, programmatic, university, or institutional missions.
