Multidisciplinary Clinical and Translational Science (MCTS) Program (UL1)

该CTSA项目的总体目标是创建一个综合的、高效的、积极主动的学术家园，以促进、促进和转变西北大学及其附属临床机构的临床和转化研究。该项目包括国立大学六所学院及其所有四所附属医院的参与。这项申请的重点是新的西北大学临床与转化科学（NUCATS）研究所，一个为其领导人、教员成员和研究学员提供物理和智力的家园。推动这一教学、研究发展和基础设施项目的主要原则是，与大多数学术机构目前采用的分散的临床和转化研究方法相比，一个综合的、专注的研究组织可以更快、更有效地将研究成果转化为改善患者护理和人口健康的方法。NU CTSA应用程序有四个目标：1。通过系统地研究和促进新研究团队背景下的多学科研究互动，提供新的、基础广泛的、协调一致的领导，加速西北大学社区内外的思想转化为医疗保健解决方案，并在此过程中获得对临床/转化合作过程的基本见解2。创建并支持一组新的和扩展的研究和培训资源（工具），这些资源将支持新的发现、新的技术开发和基于团队的转化研究3。教育和鼓励广大的科学家。医疗保健提供者在基础科学、临床医学和社区之间的界面上，以团队为基础的环境中研究和解决重要的健康问题。评估我们开发的新工具和新合作的影响，以不断提高我们的成果。被选来指导研究所及其功能组成部分的教师领导有经验、权威和投入的时间来管理临床和转化研究的新家。该项目受益于优秀的研究环境和巨大的机构支持。

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 improved 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.
