The Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) of Southeast Wisconsin represents a unique and transformative collaboration among the Medical College of Wisconsin, its campus research partners: Froedtert Hospital, Children’s Hospital Health System of Wisconsin, VA Medical Center, and the Blood Research Institute, and the major academic institutions in southeast Wisconsin: Marquette University, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and Milwaukee School of Engineering.

The CTSI is an entirely new and innovative infrastructure to support and advance education, collaboration, and research in clinical and translational science.

Revised Key Dates for CTSI Pilot Grant Proposals

Information of the NIH Grant Conversion Workshop

The NIH website indicates..."NIH applications for due dates on or after January 25, 2010 require shortening of page limits for competing applications. This change seeks to focus applicants and reviewers on the essentials of the science that are needed for a fair and comprehensive review of the application."

On November 5 & 6, suggestions and guidelines on writing a 12 page grant from the current 25 page format were addressed by: 

  • David R. Harder, PhD
    MCW Professor and Director, Cardiovascular Research Center
  • Peter J. Newman, PhD
    VP for Research, BloodCenter of Wisconsin 
  • Stephen A. Duncan, PhD
    MCW Professor of Human and Molecular Genetics

CTSciNet and Translational Careers

The American Association for the Advancement of Research (AAAS) and Science will launch The Clinical and Translational Science Network (CTSciNet) to provide resources to connect people and transmit important information in a way that crosses the boundaries of individual subspecialties, institutions, and professional societies. The Clinical and Translational Science Network (CTSciNet) provides articles and perspectives about training, career paths, and career-related issues in clinical and translational science. In future months, the CTSciNet will bring you more such content as well as articles and resources from partnering organizations. The online community will offer its members the chance to interact with a broad array of clinical and translational researchers and trainees. When it launches, CTSciNet will be the first online community devoted solely to career development for clinical and translational research. For more information, click on the link below.
