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

该CTSA计划的总体目标是创建一个 集成、高效和主动的学术之家，以促进、促进和转变临床和 NU(NU)及其附属临床机构的翻译研究。该计划包括 NU的六所学校及其所有四所附属医院都参加了这次活动。此应用程序的重点是 新的NU临床和翻译科学(NU-CATS)研究所，一个身体和智力之家 面向其领导人、教职员工和研究实习生。推动这一计划的主要原则是 教学、科研开发和基础设施建设是一项综合性的、有重点的研究 组织可以推动研究成果转化为更好的患者护理和人口 与分散的临床和转换方法相比，更快速、更有效地实现健康 目前在大多数学术机构中都存在的研究。该计划的主要概念包括： 协作-在NU内部、在我们当地社区内和跨CTSA；集成-人员、 资源和想法；创新--促进创新研究和新的协作方法； 变革--根据我们的研究人员和社区的需求，对变革持开放态度； 网络-分享想法和项目；沟通-改善整个 组织和社区；成果的衡量和跟踪。这个应用程序有六个 具体目标：目标1：促进新研究想法和项目的孵化；目标2：提供新的 扩展-开展以人群为基础、以患者为导向和 翻译研究，并将这些资源与现有资源整合，以改善对研究的支持 整个机构和社区；目标3：提供新的和增强的机构资金 支持和新的治理结构，以确保立即产生影响并迅速取得成功 新研究所；目标4：激励和培训多样化的临床和翻译研究新干部；目标 5：衡量新举措和研究成果的影响和成果 申请；目标6：与国家CTSA计划中的其他机构合作，分享最佳 实践，并改善所有新的翻译研究的整体影响和结果 为响应此RFA而创建的组织和计划。教职员工领导选择指导 研究所及其职能部门有经验、权威和致力于 管理临床和转化性研究的新家。该计划受益于 优秀的研究环境和巨大的制度支持。

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 NU (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 NU Clinical and Translational Sciences (NU-CATS) 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. Key concepts underlying this program are: Collaboration - inside NU, within our local community, and across CTSAs; Integration – of people, resources, and ideas; Innovation - promoting innovative research and new approaches to collaboration; Transformation - openness to change as dictated by the needs of our researchers and our community; Networking - sharing of ideas and projects; Communication - improving communication throughout the organization and the community; Measurement and tracking of outcomes. The application has six Specific Aims: Aim 1: Promote incubation of new research ideas and projects; Aim 2: Provide new - and expanded - infrastructure and resources necessary to conduct population-based, patient-oriented, and translational research and integrate these with existing resources for the improved support of research across the institution and in the community; Aim 3: Provide new and enhanced institutional financial support and a new governance structure that will assure the immediate impact and rapid success of the new Institute; Aim 4: Inspire and train a diverse new cadre of clinical and translational researchers; Aim 5: Measure the impact and outcomes of the new initiatives and research findings described in the application; Aim 6: Collaborate with other institutions in the national CTSA Program, share best practices, and improve the overall impact and outcomes of all the new translational research organizations and programs created in response to this RFA. 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.
