Welcome to the CTSI Website
Welcome to the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) web site. This site is intended to provide a mechanism to foster research collaboration among faculty and provide insights as to how the CTSI can assist in the advancement of your clinical and translational research. Most importantly, we hope to learn through this medium about your ideas and suggestions on how to bring together the intellectual and technological assets of MCW and its partnering institutions to develop a borderless, innovative, and a synergistic research environment conducive to the rapid translation of basic knowledge into clinical practice and patient care. The CTSI will continue to improve the site's usability and expand its content. If you have any comments, suggestions, or corrections, please send them to: ctsi@mcw.edu

CTSI Seeks Applications for Pilot and Collaborative
Clinical & Translational Research Grants
Revised Due Date
The Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) seeks applications for pilot and collaborative grants from new and established investigators. The goal of this second year of funding is to stimulate translational and clinical research in and across the institutions that comprise the CTSI of Southeast Wisconsin.
New this year, as an outcome of the recent CTSI-sponsored Brain Imaging Workshop, a portion of the available funds has been set aside to support translational brain imaging research. Multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional proposals which utilize brain imaging technology are particularly encouraged.
The types of funding to foster interdisciplinary research include small pilot projects, translational opportunity grants, small pilot projects for trainees and the brain imaging projects. The investigators may request funding for up to $50,000 ($30,000 for the small pilot projects for trainees) for duration not to exceed two years.
Investigators are encouraged to contact the Translational Research Resources Offices (TRRO) found in “Research Resources & Infrastructure” on the CTSI website. The directors of the TRROs will assist with identifying potential trans-disciplinary and multi-institutional collaborators for these projects.
Additional information is available in the REVISED CTSI 2009 Call for Research Proposals: Pilot & Collaborative Grant RFA 2009 (Revised)

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.
