MULTIDISCIPLINARY CLINICAL AND TRANSLATIONAL SCIENCE (MCTS) PROGRAM (UL1)

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。 CTSA计划的总体目标是创建一个综合、高效和积极主动的学术之家，以促进、促进和转变西北大学(NU)及其附属临床机构的临床和翻译研究。该计划包括六所北大学校及其所有四家附属医院的参与。这一应用程序的焦点是新的西北大学临床和转换科学(NUCATS)研究所，它是其领导人、成员教员和研究实习生的物理和智力之家。推动这一教学、研究发展和基础设施计划的主要原则是，与目前大多数学术机构中存在的分散的临床和转化性研究方法相比，一个整合和专注的研究组织可以更快、更有效地推动研究成果转化为更好的患者护理和人口健康。NU CTSA应用程序有4个目标：1.提供新的、广泛的和协调的领导，通过在新的研究团队的背景下系统地研究和促进多学科研究互动，在西北大学社区内外加速将想法转化为医疗解决方案，并通过这样做，获得对临床/翻译合作过程的基本见解2.创建和支持一套新的和扩展的研究和培训资源(工具)，以支持新发现、新技术开发、和基于团队的翻译研究3.教育和鼓励广泛的科学家和医疗保健提供者在基础科学、临床医学和社区之间的基于团队的环境中研究和解决重要的健康问题4.评估我们开发的新工具和新合作的影响，以持续改善我们的结果。被选来领导该研究所及其职能部门的教职员工具有管理临床和转化性研究新家的经验、权威和时间。该计划得益于出色的研究环境和巨大的制度支持。

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. The overall goal of this CTSA program is to create an integrated, efficient, and proactive academic home to promote, facilitate, and transform clinical and translational research at Northwestern University (NU) and its affiliated clinical institutions. The program includes participation by six NU schools and all four of its affiliated hospitals. The focal point of this application is the new Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Sciences (NUCATS) Institute, a physical and intellectual home for its leaders, member faculty, and research trainees. The major principle driving this program of teaching, research development, and infrastructure is that an integrated and focused research organization can propel the translation of research findings into mproved patient care and population health more rapidly and effectively than the decentralized approaches to clinical and translational research that now exist in most academic institutions. The NU CTSA application has 4 goals: 1. Provide new, broad-based, and coordinated leadership to accelerate translation of ideas into health-care solutions within the Northwestern University community and beyond by systematically studying and promoting multidisciplinary research interactions in the context of new research teams and, in so doing, to gain fundamental insights into the process of clinical/translational collaboration 2. Create and support a new and expanded set of research and training resources (tools) that will support new discoveries, new technology development, and translational team-based research 3. Educate and encourage a broad range of scientists.and health care providers to study and solve important health problems in a team-based environment at the interfaces between fundamental science, clinical medicine, and the community 4. Evaluate the impact of the new tools and new collaborations that we have developed in order to continuously improve our outcomes. The faculty leaders chosen to direct the Institute and its functional components have the experience, authority, and committed time to administer the new home for clinical and translational research. The Program benefits from an outstanding research environment and tremendous institutional support.
