Agility Projects

Catalyzing high-risk, high-reward discoveries to fuel a robust pipeline

The Alliance is supporting interdisciplinary research teams to pioneer early-stage exploratory projects to support and expand our scientific program.

These agility projects are chosen on a competitive basis to advance the scientific and translational mission of the Alliance.

They are diverse in focus areas – from studying mental resilience in female athletes to developing orthbiologics to treat tendon injuries to optimizing computational models of muscle regeneration. Yet each uniquely complements the Alliance’s existing research and translational efforts within human performance.
