Translating Science into Better Health

The NIH Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) program enables innovative research teams to speed discovery and advance science aimed at improving our nation's health. The program encourages collaborative teams of diverse investigators to tackle complex health and research challenges and then find ways to turn their discoveries into practical solutions for patients. These teams already are making progress across a broad range of diseases and conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, neurological disorders and heart disease.

Funding Research Across the Nation

The Clinical and Translational Science Awards program supports a national consortium of 60 medical research institutions in 30 states and the District of Columbia that are transforming the way biomedical research is conducted. Its goals are to speed the translation of laboratory discoveries into treatments for patients, to engage communities in clinical research efforts, and to train a new generation of clinical and translational researchers.
