NIH Appoints UR CTSI to Help Coordinate Nation’s Clinical and Translational Research; $19 Million Grant to Bring Jobs to Rochester
The NIH has awarded the University of Rochester CTSI with a five-year, $19 million grant to coordinate more than 50 of the nation’s top biomedical research institutions in the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program.
With this grant, the CTSI will build upon the foundation of the original CTSA Program Coordinating Center led by Vanderbilt University to establish the Center for Leading Innovation and Collaboration (CLIC) and creating approximately 20 new local jobs. The CLIC will create ways for CTSA institutions to easily access and leverage each other’s resources, tools, and expertise - helping them avoid reinventing the wheel.
The CLIC will create virtual and in-person platforms on which CTSA Program institutions can share data and educational materials, track their success, communicate with one another, and develop collaborations. It will help member institutions benchmark their progress in comparison to the network as a whole and identify areas where improvement may be needed or where efforts could be reduced.
The CLIC will also help communicate the importance and impact of the CTSA Program to government stakeholders and US taxpayers who fund the program using interactive and engaging data visualization. These dynamic data will be available to the general public and will make CTSA Program-supported scientific and medical advances vibrantly visible.
