To meet the intent of the CTSA initiative, WU has created the Institute of Clinical and Translational Sciences. The overall goal of the ICTS is to serve as the intellectual and physical home for clinical and translational research, clinical research training, and career development to help overcome the traditional boundaries between disciplines, departments and institutions.
Foundational elements for the CTSA include four prior clinical research and training grants (GCRC, K12, K30 and T32) and WU's BioMed 21 strategic initiative in multidisciplinary collaborative research in genome sciences, biological imaging, and clinical investigation. There are 15 key Program Functions that include specific goals, milestones and evaluation criteria for various services, cores and programs.
The ICTS leverages an unprecedented level of partnership with other academic, healthcare, and key industrial and community partners. These elements are joined to complement WU core expertise to form this transformational new institute designed to reinvent and reinvigorate clinical and translational research and clinical research training.
