    1. CTSA Update - January 2007 Dr. Anthony R Hayward Director DCRR/NCRR

    2. 12 Academic Health Centers (AHCs) nationwide 52 AHC planning grants to prepare applications to join consortium In 2012, ~60 institutions will be linked to energize clinical and translational science First CTSA Awards Announced October 3 On October 3rd, I announced the names of the 12 academic health centers that would receive the first CTSAs. In addition, 52 academic health centers received planning grants to help them prepare applications to join the consortium. The twelve grants we made are substantially more than the seven or so that were originally envisioned We were very impressed with the response—the number of applications—and the quality of the response Many of the applications did so well during the peer review process that we felt it was appropriate to fund more of these institutions, since they clearly demonstrated an understanding of the CTSA vision and specific plans to achieve its goals When fully implemented in 2012, about 60 institutions will be linked together to energize the discipline of clinical and translational research I want to make it clear that we are taking great care at NIH to preserve the investigator-initiated research support pool in these times of constrained budgets. Since the funding for the CTSAs is being derived from existing clinical research programs and the NIH Roadmap, no funds are being transferred away from basic researchOn October 3rd, I announced the names of the 12 academic health centers that would receive the first CTSAs.

    3. Building A National CTSA Consortium FY2006 CTSA Awards & Planning Grants The first 12 CTSAs were awarded in 2006 to 12 academic health centers located throughout the nation. When fully implemented in 2012, the initiative is expected to provide a total of about $500 million annually to 60 academic health centers. An additional 52 academic health centers received planning grants, in 2006, to help them prepare applications to join the consortium.

    6. Proposed NCRR Management of CTSA Program

    7. Impressions Enthusiasm: real will to achieve something new Extended reach within institution: pharmacy, nursing Outstanding minority trainees - e.g., Rockefeller Pilot project programs implemented rapidly CTSAweb.org will meet communication needs

    8. Priorities for 2006 Awardees Hold meetings for all Steering Committees Implement evaluation plans Agree on achievable short-term goals Deploy Web-based communications systems Have Program Officers visit sites

    9. FY2007 round of CTSAs Differ in addition of foreign component for NIH-funded clinical research Applications due 1/17/2007 35 letters of intent Reviews in May 2007 Up to 8 awards expected in September 2007
