What is the Translation Fund?
The Translation Fund helps progress your project or bridge a gap to get your project to the next stage.
Proposals should have a clearly defined endpoint that is achievable in the short to medium term. The Translation Fund also includes the Early Validation Fund (formerly the Project Development Fund), which aims to de-risk very preliminary translational science. We don't restrict types of proposals, but they must be consistent with our vision and purpose.
