This subproject represents an estimate of the percentage of the CTSA funding that is being utilized for a broad area of research (AIDS research, pediatric research, or clinical trials). The Total Cost listed is only an estimate of the amount of CTSA infrastructure going towards this area of research, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. In response to the national effort to develop, improve, and deliver clinical and translational science, the leadership of Emory University challenged both faculty and the administration to transform clinical and translational research within the University and its numerous components and affiliates. With ongoing collaborations in heath-care, education, and interdisciplinary research, Emory also chose to engage two of its close academic partners in metropolitan Atlanta - Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) and Georgia Institute of Technology (GA Tech) to form the Atlanta Clinical and Translational Science Institute (Atlanta-CTSI). This strategic multi-institutional alliance offered compelling and unique advantages. Emory is one of the nation's leading healthcare and academic research institutions, ranking 19th nationally in NIH funded research; GA Tech is a national leader in biomedical engineering and the application of innovative systems engineering to health care solutions; and MSM is a historically black medical school recognized as a national leader in expanding the ethnic diversity of biomedical research, dedicated to community engagement in efforts to eliminate health disparities and serving as a pipeline for training minority investigators. The established partnerships and diverse faculty enable the Atlanta-CTSI to combine strong clinical, translational, training and basic discovery programs at Emory with the health disparities, training and community outreach focus of MSM together with the engineering and bioinformatics achievements of GA Tech. The planning efforts also led to the creation of a new and innovative pediatric clinical and translational research program and a partnership with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, new partnerships with the emerging Georgia biotechnology community and with Kaiser Permanente, and the further development of partnerships with state sponsored agencies (Georgia Research Alliance) and with the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Atlanta-CTSI is a model designed to harness the scientific, technological, and clinical advantages of these institutions around the major aims of discovery, training, and community engagement to create a new city wide home for clinical and translational research. Other new programs resulting from the synergistic partnership include an innovative pilot projects program PiCo-TraCS, integrated clinical interactions and biomedical informatics networks (CIN and BIN), creation of a technology "pipeline" and Academy for Translational Methods Development, a bioinformatics Leapfrog initiative, a facilitating Office of Human Studies Research, creative K30/K12 and T32 programs, and an outstanding community engagement program. The institutional support for the Atlanta-CTSI is exceptional. The Atlanta- CTSI utilizes the complementary strengths of Emory, MSM, and GA Tech and other GA institutions to promote the discipline of clinical and translational science and to improve the healthcare of our community.

本分项目是CTSA供资的估计百分比，即 被用于广泛的研究领域(艾滋病研究、儿科研究或 临床试验)。列出的总成本仅是对CTSA金额的估计 用于这一研究领域的基础设施，而不是由 授予子项目或子项目工作人员的NCRR补助金。 为了响应国家发展、改进和提供临床和转化科学的努力，埃默里大学的领导层向教职员工和管理人员提出了挑战，要求他们在大学及其众多组成部分和附属机构内转变临床和转化性研究。凭借在医疗保健、教育和跨学科研究方面的持续合作，Emory还选择聘请其在亚特兰大的两个密切学术合作伙伴--莫尔豪斯医学院(MSM)和佐治亚理工学院(GA Tech)成立亚特兰大临床与转化科学研究所(Atlanta-CTSI)。这一战略多机构联盟提供了令人信服和独特的优势。Emory是美国领先的医疗保健和学术研究机构之一，在NIH资助的研究中排名全国第19位；GA Tech是生物医学工程和将创新系统工程应用于医疗保健解决方案方面的全国领先企业；MSM是一所历史悠久的黑人医学院，被公认为在扩大生物医学研究的种族多样性方面处于全国领先地位，致力于社区参与消除健康差距的努力，并作为培训少数族裔调查人员的渠道。建立的合作伙伴关系和多元化的师资队伍使亚特兰大-CTSI能够将埃默里大学强大的临床、翻译、培训和基本发现项目与MSM的健康差距、培训和社区推广重点与GA Tech的工程和生物信息学成就结合起来。规划工作还导致创建了一个新的创新的儿科临床和转化研究计划，并与亚特兰大儿童保健中心建立了合作伙伴关系，与新兴的佐治亚州生物技术社区和Kaiser Permanente建立了新的合作伙伴关系，并与国家资助机构(佐治亚州研究联盟)和退伍军人事务部进一步发展了合作伙伴关系。亚特兰大-CTSI是一种模式，旨在围绕发现、培训和社区参与的主要目标，利用这些机构的科学、技术和临床优势，创建一个全市范围的临床和转化性研究的新家园。协作伙伴关系产生的其他新项目包括创新的试点项目计划Pico-TraCS、综合临床互动和生物医学信息学网络(CIN和BIN)、创建技术“管道”和翻译方法开发学院、生物信息学LeapFrog计划、促进人类研究办公室、创造性的K30/K12和T32计划，以及杰出的社区参与计划。对亚特兰大-CTSI的机构支持是例外的。亚特兰大-CTSI利用Emory、MSM、GA Tech和其他GA机构的互补优势来促进临床和翻译科学的学科，并改善我们社区的医疗保健。
