“The purpose of this initiative is to assist institutions to create a
uniquely transformative, novel, and integrative academic home for
the Clinical and Translational Science that has the resources to
train and advance a cadre of well-trained multi- and inter-
disciplinary investigators and research teams with access to
innovative research tools and information technologies to promote
the application of new knowledge and techniques to patient care.”
CTSC 2007 RFA
Harvard Catalyst:The Basics
$192 million infrastructural organization designed to support, enhance and catalyze translational research across all of Harvard and its 18 affiliated hospitals and institutions:– Bring people together (CONNECTIONS)– Lower barriers to research such as the duplicative IRB
submissions and restricted access to cores (AT THE CUTTING EDGE)
– Enhance the pipeline of researches (NURTURING)
