Sharing a Common Vision

Working together as a national consortium, CTSA

institutions share a common vision to improve

human health by transforming the research and

training environment to enhance the efficiency and

quality of clinical and translational research.

The CTSA initiative is led by the National Center for Research Resources at the National Institutes of Health.

Goals for the CTSA Consortium

The CTSA consortium has the following five goals:

Building National Clinical and Translational Research

Capability

Training and Career Development of Clinical and

Translational Scientists

Enhancing Consortium-Wide Collaborations

Enhancing the Health of our Communities and the

Nation

Encouraging T1 Translational Research
