Improving the process by which diagnostics and therapeutics are developed.
Demonstrating more efficient, collaborative approaches to clinical research.
Supporting technology development and partnerships to disseminate promising new approaches.
Engaging patients in every step of the research process to build trust and improve study quality.
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 usefullness in a specific disease or case study; and disseminates the data, analyses the methods to the larger scientific community.
