Request for Clinical & Translational Science (CTS) Pilot Applications
The CTSA Hub provides intramural awards to support the growth of interdisciplinary and investigator-initiated clinical and translational science across a broad range of disciplines. The CTS Pilot Program is seeking translational science proposals focused on advancing the development and application of reusable CTS tools.
Miaisha Mitchell Honored with Community Champion Award
Miaisha Mitchell, chair of the CTSA's Community Advisory Board, was honored at a recent Martin Luther King Jr. Day event. Keynote speaker Dr. Franklin Gallop II focused on a piece from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. himself that Miaisha represents daily in our community: "If you can't fly, then run; if you can't run, then walk; if you can't walk, then crawl, but by all means, keep moving forward."

CTSA Cores
Biostatistics, Informatics, and Research Design (BIRD) Core
The BIRD Core provides a central location to access support and consulting services related to human health data science, informatics, and clinical and translational research design.
Our vision is to equip clinical and translational researchers with new capabilities to answer questions that cannot be answered today.
Community Engagement Core
The Community Engagement Core created educational programs based on what the community needs.
These programs aim to strengthen the community's role in research, share important resources, and provide helpful health information.
