New clinical trials resource for UA faculty and research community
January 21, 2012
The UA Office of Information Technology announced UA's affiliation with the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute.
The Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute is a statewide collaboration
of Indiana University, Purdue University and the University of Notre Dame, as well
as public and private partnerships, which facilitates the translation of scientific
discoveries in the lab into clinical trials and new patient treatments in Indiana
and beyond.
Established in 2008, the Indiana CTSI was created with a $25 million Clinical and
Translational Science Award from the National Center for Research Resources of the National
Institutions of Health, supplemented by nearly $60 million from the state, the three
member universities, and public and private partnerships. The Indiana CTSI is a member
of a national network of 55 CTSA-funded organizations across the United States.
A brief PowerPoint presentation available online provides a broad outline of the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute.
The program reviews the long term mission, key components and organizational structure
of the Indiana CTSI.
