  2. UCLA CTSI Goals

  3. NIH CTSA Consortium

  4. What is translational research? • UCLA CTSI translational investigation extends from molecules to society • Translating knowledge gained from laboratory science into clinical practice to improve health. • The aim of translational research is to produce new: • therapeutics • medical devices • tools for diagnosing disease • avenues for community engagement research 4

  5. Program Areas (1-5) 1) Clinical and Community Research Resources (CCRR) 2) Biomedical Informatics Program (BIP) 3) Community Engagement in Research Program (CERP) 4) Pilot and Collaborative Translational and Clinical Studies Programs (Pilot) 5) Research Education, Training and Career Development Program (CTSI-ED) 5

  6. Program Areas (6-10) 6) Biostatistics and Computational Biology Program 7) Center for Translational Technologies (CTT) 8) Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health (MCAH) 9) Regulatory Knowledge, Industry Relations and Research Ethics Program (Regulatory) 10) Evaluation & Tracking 6
