| NIH Launches Program to Transform Clinical, Translational
Science |
|
Designed to spur the transformation of clinical
and translational research, a new NIH grant program called Institutional
Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) was announced
on Oct. 12 by NIH director Dr. Elias Zerhouni. The ultimate goal
of the program, open to qualifying academic health centers across
the nation, is to develop treatments more efficiently and deliver
them more quickly to patients.
"We are truly at a crossroads in medicine," Zerhouni said. "The scientific advances of the
past few years, such as the completion of the Human Genome Project, dictate that we act now
to encourage fundamental changes in how we do clinical research, and how we train the new generations
of clinician scientists for the medical challenges of this century."
