Announcing the 2024 STaRR grant recipients
To support STaRR emerging researchers to conduct a translation-focused research project, Western Alliance offered two funding opportunities in 2024:
- Research Translation Fellowships (STaRRships), for past STaRR participants and past Western Alliance Emerging Researcher grant recipients to translate research evidence into practice.
- STaRR Emerging Researcher Seed Grants, for past STaRR participants to conduct a research project to generate new evidence.
