The Ohio State University
The Ohio State University Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) is a collaboration among The Ohio State University, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and Nationwide Children's Hospital dedicated to turning the scientific discoveries of today into life-changing disease prevention strategies and the health diagnostics and treatments of tomorrow. Funded by a multi-year Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) from the National Institutes of Health, the CTSI leverages expertise and helps create connections across the university, the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center and Nationwide Children’s Hospital, community health and education agencies, business partnerships and regional institutional network partnerships. Ohio State’s CTSI is one of the founding members of the Appalachian Translational Research Network (ATRN). Ohio State’s CTSI Community Engagement (CE) Program offers several opportunities for stakeholders in Ohio’s Appalachian communities to engage with research. The CTSI hosts the Southeast Ohio Community Advisory Board, which brings important issues in Ohio’s rural communities to guide researchers in their work to improve health. Additionally, the CTSI CE program hosts the Community Scientist Academy to help educate community stakeholders about the research process and share opportunities for involvement in research. <-- return to ATRN Institutional Partners page |
