The Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program is a national, collaborative consortium focused on bringing more treatments to more patients more quickly through advancing clinical and translational science. It is designed to develop and implement innovative solutions that will improve the efficiency, quality, and impact of the process for turning observations in the laboratory, clinic, and community into interventions that improve the health of individuals and communities.
