Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program

The Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program is a national initiative that funds specialized research centers to accelerate the transformation of scientific discoveries into improved healthcare. These centers bring together researchers, clinicians, and community partners to identify health problems, develop new treatments, and ensure they reach patients efficiently. The goal is to bridge the gap between scientific research and real-world medical practice, making medical advances faster and more effective for patients and communities.
