Clinical and Translational Science Awards

A national consortium, funded through Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSAs), is transforming how clinical and translational research is conducted, ultimately enabling researchers to provide new treatments more efficiently and quickly to patients.

Now comprising 38 academic health centers in 23 states (including 14 centers added in May 2008), the consortium ultimately will link about 60 institutions together to energize the discipline of clinical and translational science.

The consortium's Web site, CTSAweb.org, ensures broad access to CTSA resources, enhances communication, and encourages information sharing.

The new program draws on NIH's earlier initiatives to re-engineer the clinical research enterprise, one of the key objectives of the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research.

Support for Conferences and Scientific Meetings

Scientific Conference Grants support national and international meetings sponsored and directed by the R13 grantees. Such meetings must be relevant to the goals of the Division for Clinical Research Resources. To ensure the division's interest in the proposed meeting, prospective grantees must contact a program official for written approval prior to submission of an application. If the division determines a sufficient need to have substantial involvement in the planning and conduct of the scientific meeting, then a cooperative agreement (U13)—instead of an R13—would be awarded.
