It does this through the federal government's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. Funding AreasNCRR is interested in the application of clinical technology, instruments, devices, and related methodologies that may have broad application to clinical research. In particular, the center funds applications that enhance the ability to perform clinical research and improve patient care. To help facilitate clinical research, NCRR seeks resources focused on:
NCRR fosters collaboration between small businesses with academic researchers through its Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program. Its goals are to reduce the time it takes for laboratory discoveries to become treatments for patients as well as to train the next generation of clinical translational researchers. A national consortium, funded through CTSAs, will link together about 60 institutions by 2012 with a budget of $500 million per year to energize the discipline of clinical and translational science. One of the goals of the CTSA consortium is to stimulate alliances in medical research and research training by identifying opportunities via collaboration among CTSA members and private-sector, nonprofit, and government partners. Specific efforts related to private-public partnerships, translational research, and other CTSA committees can be found on the CTSA consortium Web site.
