HCSRN INVOLVMENT IN CTSA AWARDS
Many HCSRN research centers and health care systems partner with Clinical and Translational Science Awards
(CTSAs). NIH’s CTSA program aims to transform how clinical and translational research is performed, and speed
translation of bench science to testable interventions and translation of interventions into improved patient
outcomes.
The CTSA program is administered by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS). The
program links together 62 medical research institutions throughout the nation. These institutions are working
together to speed the translation of research discoveries into improved patient care. Currently, 12 of the 18
U.S.-based HCSRN organizations partner with academic medical centers on CTSA programs.
