$\"ctsi\"$ The Clinical and Translational Science Institute<\/a> (CTSI) at the University of Pittsburgh aims to facilitate the translation of biomedical research advances into clinical and public health practice and policy.<\/p>\n

To achieve this goal, CTSI is working to integrate existing programs with innovative new clinical and translational science initiatives under a common umbrella and to create an awareness and understanding\u2014initially among members of the biomedical research\/health care community but eventually among the general public as well\u2014of the tangible benefits to health practice that can be realized from clinical and translational research.<\/p>\n

The University of Pittsburgh\u2019s CTSI is part of a growing nationwide consortium of institutions selected and funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to pioneer a transformation in how research is conducted.<\/p>\n

What does this mean to you? CTSI offers institutional resources for clinical and translational research studies.\u00a0 Some examples of the types of assistance provided include: study design, statistical analysis, and data management; navigation of regulatory requirements and submissions; information technology; community outreach and recruitment of study participants; pilot finding; and various other types of help for research projects (such as inpatient or outpatient clinical research support or core services).<\/p>\n

If you need help with your research and don\u2019t know where to turn, you can file a CTSI service request<\/a> online, by e-mail (ctsi@pitt.edu), or by phone (412-383-1171 or 412-383-1036).<\/p>\n
