Advancing today’s discoveries to improve health for all.
The Ohio State University Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) is a collaboration between The Ohio State University, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and Nationwide Children's Hospital to accelerate the translation of research discoveries into improved health care by reducing operational, administrative and scientific barriers; supporting scientists, investigators and clinical research professionals; and creating interdisciplinary collaborations across the translational science spectrum. The CTSI provides financial, organizational and educational support to researchers, as well as opportunities for community members to participate in valuable research.
Under the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) supports the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program to form a national network of 60+ leading medical institutions. The Ohio State University CTSA hub was initially established and funded by NCATS in 2008.
The Ohio State CTSI is unique as one of the few CTSA hubs with Colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy, Public Health, Optometry, Social Work and Veterinary Medicine on a single campus with a stand-alone pediatric hospital partner. These features set it apart from others by having great disciplinary diversity and resources to advance health through the lifespan.
The Ohio State University Clinical and Translational Science Institute aims to be a national leader and model CTSA hub in advancing impactful clinical and translational research at The Ohio State University and Nationwide Children’s Hospital by:
- Cultivating and supporting clinical and translational research
- Training, developing and supporting clinical and translational scientists and clinical research professionals
- Enabling interdisciplinary collaboration that leverages depth and breadth of expertise
- Growing a culture of translation and innovation
- Enriching community partnerships and engagement in research opportunities
- Developing and implementing tools and solutions to support the research process
