Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Science Institute (NUCATS)

项目摘要/摘要 西北大学临床与翻译科学研究所(NUCATS)的使命是 为患者和人群带来变革性的研究发现。NUCATS研究所成立于2007年， 作为西北大学临床和翻译研究的中心，其著名的临床 合作伙伴(西北纪念医疗保健公司、芝加哥安和罗伯特·H·鲁里儿童医院和 芝加哥康复机构)、社区和利益相关者组织、患者和行业。在这 在资助期内，NUCATS将继续支持翻译的整个范围-从基本发现到 临床试验和人口健康研究--不分病区。我们将在过去的基础上继续前进 开展应对挑战和机遇的新举措的成就和当前优势 在临床和转化科学方面。我们将追求以下全球目标，这些目标与NCATS的 CTSA计划的目标：1)我们将进一步将研究整合到临床护理系统和流程中， 目标是每一次临床接触都成为研究和学习的机会，以改善人类健康； 2)我们将创新、测试和传播新的教育和培训计划，以装备翻译人员 劳动力和提高翻译研究的质量和效率；3)我们将在 团队科学的科学，并创造实用的工具，催化和授权高功能的利益相关者- 参与、跨专业的团队；以及4)我们将采取试验方法来改进方法和 翻译研究的过程，创造一种可以传播的持续改进的文化 整个CTSA财团。持续的CTSA资金将是加快设计速度的关键因素， 演示和传播翻译科学的创新和可推广解决方案 推进我们对改善人类健康的承诺。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The mission of the Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Sciences (NUCATS) Institute is “speeding transformative research discoveries to patients and the population.” The NUCATS Institute, founded in 2007, serves as the hub for clinical and translational research across Northwestern University, its renowned clinical partners (Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, and the Rehabilitation Institution of Chicago), community and stakeholder organizations, patients, and industry. In this funding period, NUCATS will continue to support the entire spectrum of translation – from basic discovery through clinical trials to population health research – regardless of disease area. We will build upon our past accomplishments and current strengths to undertake new initiatives that address challenges and opportunities in clinical and translational science. We will pursue the following Global Aims, which are aligned with NCATS' goals for the CTSA program: 1) We will further integrate research into clinical care systems and processes, with the goal that every clinical encounter becomes an opportunity for research and learning to improve human health; 2) We will innovate, test, and disseminate new education and training initiatives to equip the translational workforce and improve quality and efficiency of translational research; 3) We will build upon our expertise in the science of team science and create practical tools that catalyze and empower high-functioning, stakeholder- engaged, multi-disciplinary teams; and 4) We will take an experimental approach to improve the methods and processes of translational research and create a culture of continuous improvement that can be disseminated across the CTSA consortium. Continued CTSA funding will be a critical element, speeding the design, demonstration, and dissemination of innovative and generalizable solutions for translational science and advancing our commitment to improved human health.
