National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS)
The National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) is the newest of 27 Institutes and Centers (ICs) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This Center was established in December 2011 to transform the translational science process so that new treatments and cures for disease can be delivered to patients faster.
Clinical and Translational Science Awards
The Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) program in the NCATS Division of Clinical Innovation aims to strengthen and support the entire spectrum of translational research from scientific discovery to improved patient care. Under NCATS leadership, the program supports a national consortium of more than 60 medical research institutions that work together to transform this process. Through this consortium, research teams collaborate to tackle common problems that no one organization can accomplish alone.
