This grant funds academic medical centers to speed up translating scientific discoveries into real-world health solutions through research infrastructure, training, and collaboration.
Funder: National Institutes of Health
Due Dates (Anticipated): January 2027 (Full application deadline, projected)
Funding Amounts: Award sizes and duration not specified; typically supports large-scale, multi-year cooperative agreements for academic medical centers.
Summary: Supports academic medical centers in building infrastructure, expertise, and training to accelerate translation of scientific discoveries into improved patient and public health.
This opportunity is a forecasted reissuance of the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program. The program aims to accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries into treatments, diagnostics, and health interventions that enhance patient and public health. It does so by funding and coordinating a national network of academic medical centers (CTSA Hubs) that provide the necessary infrastructure, expertise, training, and collaboration to move discoveries from laboratory research into clinical practice and community health. The CTSA program further seeks to catalyze the development, demonstration, and dissemination of innovative methods and technologies to improve the efficiency and quality of translational research across the spectrum.
