Partnering for Progress

New York University and NYU School of Medicine have received a $29.4 million, five-year Clinical and Translational Science Award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to establish a University-wide Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) in partnership with the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC), the largest public hospital system in the country. The funding is designed to train medical researchers, accelerate advances from the lab to the patient and the community, and enable researchers to study health disparities and develop approaches to reduce them.

With this grant, the University, the School, and HHC will join a network of 46 existing Clinical and Translational Science centers based at academic medical centers around the country. The scope of the CTSI network is vast: 9 schools and colleges, 15 major medical and dental facilities serving 2 million patients, 75 departments, and 200 laboratories. At NYU Langone Medical Center and HHC, potentially hundreds of researchers, physicians, and clinicians will participate.
