Abstract:
The mission of the Tufts Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) is to identify, stimulate, and expedite innovative clinical and translational research with the goal to improve the public's health.
The Tufts CTSI provides education, training, and research support to investigative teams from all walks of research life – the bench laboratory, clinical research, healthcare delivery, and public policy – leveraging Tufts
University's traditions of multidisciplinary collaboration, novel research methods, and academic innovation. We salute the Global Health Research efforts of the Tufts community and extend our resources to all its investigators.
The aim of the Tufts CTSI Portal is to support researchers in conducting innovative clinical and translational research. The Portal encompasses eleven components, including the Design and Database Resource Center,
Novel Clinical and Translational Research Methods Development, Translational Technologies and Resources,
Therapeutics Development and Implementation, Predictive Medicine, Evidence-based Medicine, Genetics and
Genomics, and a Pilot Project Program. Through the Portal, investigators can:



Find research resources

Connect with other researchers, industry, and community partners

Participate in educational programs and training opportunities
Access consultation on how to design, implement, and execute a study
Identify funding opportunities for clinical and translational research locally and nationally
The Portal’s focus is on providing infrastructure and processes that support researchers every step of the way from developing an idea to obtaining funding to implementing a project to disseminating findings and influencing health care policy. Contact us at www.portal.tuftsctsi.org.
