Dear Faculty,
Do you have a research project with translational potential? Do you want to see a project have a positive impact on health, medicine and care but need some support?
Open to all PIs: clinical, basic, and translational researchers.
From the Translational Research Program (TRP) in the Temerty Faculty of Medicine.
You can submit a project to have a small group of translational research program master’s students work with you for 4 months. The benefits include:
- Having students focussed on translational research support and move forward your project by conducting research and helping advance your ideas
- Low commitment needed from you: the form is straightforward, and your time commitment will include an initial meeting in January, and then meetings on an as-needed basis (anticipated to be bi-weekly or monthly)
- You get to support a small group of students and enrich their educational/research experience
- There is no cost to the PI or lab for participation.
It will run from January 2026 until April 2026 and final projects will be presented on April 14, 2026.
What kind of projects are we looking for?
We are looking for a broad spectrum of projects. They just need to be:
- In the translational space, from bench to bedside
- Feasible to complete within the time frame (4 months)
- Of educational benefit to the student
See a full list of previous projects supported on our website.
“We had a great experience collaborating with the translational research program, the students were presented with a task that the members of our group had not attempted before and they met the challenge, leaving a lasting contribution to our research group.”
What course is this is related to?
Students in the Translational Research Program take “Foundations in Translational Research” throughout the first year of the program. Case studies are used as a tool for students to work in teams and learn about the translational research process. Throughout the first term, students are given case studies based on real happenings, but are theoretical. For the second term, students can learn from projects that are current and occurring within the LMP faculty and community. With this we are asking for projects which could benefit from translational research support.
How to take part: deadline November 18, 2025
You are invited to submit research-based project ideas (with Translational potential) for translational support by November 18, 2025. After you complete the form, someone will connect with you so we can learn more.
We will then review, assess, and work with you to create a project plan with useful deliverables. Examples could include needs assessments, strategy plans, regularity work and identification, commercialization strategy and analysis, and more!
If you have any questions, please contact Janine Noorloos (janine.noorloos@utoronto.ca).
