Resources to help you navigate the grant writing process.
Request a Letter of Support
A letter of support from the Ohio State CTSI can significantly strengthen your grant application by demonstrating institutional commitment, highlighting collaboration and detailing resources and support available for the project. For certain grants, letters of support are a required component of the application to demonstrate institutional commitment and feasibility of the proposed research.
Below is a list of resources and assistance to help write, edit and submit your grant application. The tools below can be adapted to meet specific grant opportunities and you can also contact the CTSI for help.
Cite the Grant
Citing the CTSA grant
Publications supported by The Ohio State University Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) must cite the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) grant number (UM1TR004548) and by law, be submitted to PubMed Central. For instructions, review the NIH Public Access Policy on the CTSI website.
