Research Activities
Our programs, projects and other research activities tackle ongoing challenges in translational research so that new treatments and other health solutions can reach people faster.
Research Activities at NCATS
Through our research activities, we overcome roadblocks that slow progress on developing treatments for many different diseases and that can lead to inequities in clinical outcomes. Explore the range of initiatives we support at NCATS and beyond.
Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program
This program funds a network of more than 60 leading medical institutions to improve the health of individuals and communities through research, resources and training.
Code Map Services: Interoperability for Common Data Models
Explore how Code Map Services translates real-world data between research “languages,” or common data models like OMOP and FHIR enabling researchers faster collaboration across networks.
National Clinical Cohort Collaborative (N3C)
N3C translates health data into health solutions.
The Helping to End Addiction Long-term® Initiative, or NIH HEAL Initiative®
As part of the NIH HEAL Initiative, we are applying our translational science approaches to accelerate the development of new treatments for opioid misuse, addiction and pain management.
