NCATS Seeks Applications to Advance
COVID-19 ResearchNCATS issued multiple Notices of Special Interest that highlight the urgent need for research on the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and the disease it causes, novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Collaborating to Overcome Roadblocks to Advance Melanoma Therapy
NCATS scientists used high-throughput screening to help colleagues at NCI identify existing compounds and drugs that could lead to improvements in a therapy for a form of metastatic melanoma, a potentially deadly skin cancer.
The Road to Improving Rural Health Outcomes
One out of every five Americans lives in a rural area, and many have difficulties accessing health care. To improve rural health outcomes, our CTSA Program is working to address health disparities unique to these areas and promote health equity.

Research at NCATS
NCATS research projects and initiatives focus on addressing scientific and technical challenges to reduce, remove, or bypass bottlenecks in the development of new treatments and tests that will ultimately improve human health. The Center studies translation on a system-wide level to accelerate the development of interventions for more than one disease.
Through its research initiatives, NCATS develops new approaches, technologies, resources, and models; demonstrates their usefulness in a specific disease or case study; and disseminates the data, analyses the methods to the larger scientific community.
NIH-NASA Biomedical Research Activities
NIH and NASA are exploring how biomedical research can address the challenges of deep space exploration and benefit human health in space and on Earth.
