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

该CTSA计划的总体目标是创建一个综合，高效和积极的学术家园，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转化研究。该计划包括六所NU学校及其所有四家附属医院的参与。该应用程序的焦点是新的西北大学临床和转化科学（NUCATS）研究所，其领导人，成员教师和研究学员的物理和智力家园。推动这一教学，研究开发和基础设施计划的主要原则是，一个综合和集中的研究组织可以推动研究成果转化为改善病人护理和人口健康更快，更有效地比分散的方法，临床和转化研究，现在存在于大多数学术机构。NU CTSA应用程序有4个目标：1。提供新的，基础广泛的，协调的领导，以加快思想转化为医疗保健解决方案在西北大学社区内外通过系统地研究和促进多学科研究的新的研究团队的背景下相互作用，并在这样做，以获得临床/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，新技术开发和基于翻译团队的研究。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，以不断改善我们的成果。选择指导研究所及其职能部门的教师领导人有经验，权威和承诺的时间来管理临床和转化研究的新家。该计划受益于出色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.
