Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSAs) will attract basic, translational, and clinical investigators, community clinicians, clinical practices, networks, professional societies, and industry to develop new professional interactions, programs, and research projects. Through innovative advanced degree programs, CTSAs will foster a new discipline of Clinical and Translational Science that will be much broader and deeper than their separate components. This RFA is developed as a Roadmap initiative. All NIH Institutes and Centers participate in Roadmap initiatives. This program will use the NIH U54 award mechanism that includes linked K and T components.
