Inova Health System, through the Office of Research and Commercialization, is excited to share with you the launch of a new research funding initiative, the Inova Translational Research Funding Program (ITRF). This program, which will fund cutting-edge translational research across our system, was created to encourage the development of research talent at Inova and to foster interdepartmental, interinstitutional, academic and industry collaborations. We hope that these partnerships will lead to larger research endeavors that advance our mission to help our patients and our community.
